"This raw and powerful book will hammer its way into your heart and haunt you. The world needs this story. And you want to read it--trust me."
-Laurie Halse Anderson, Printz Honor-Winning Author of Speak
"Chris Lynch is the best pure YA writer we have--he has the guts, he has the chops, and like his readers, he'll take a close look at anything. Inexcusable is irresistible, in its limning of the space between brutality and grace, between the soul and the law. Start at page one--you'll never stop."
-Bruce Brooks, Newberry Honor-Winning Author of The Moves Make the Man
"Inexcusable is a not-to-be-missed chapter in the anthropology of ritual male dating behavior. From the first phrase to the last phase, Chris Lynch creates a character with such flawless self-deception that the reader mistakes being seduced with being stalked. In the end you become the book's trophy, and you'll find your head mounted on the cover."
-Jack Gantos, Printz Honor-Winning Author of Hole in My Life
