High Heels and Lipstick (Deep Secrets and Hope #3)

Synopsis

Deep Secrets and Hope: Book ThreeChastaine Rollo follows her own rules, even starting rumors about herself before others have the chance. Others' opinions don't matter. Her life is fun, and she likes being a rebel, until now. When she comes forward as a date-rape victim, pinning a popular former student as her attacker, the entire school turns against her. Two months ago, Chastaine admitted to her friend Guillermo that Jim Frankel date-raped her, and Guillermo coaxed her to report it. When word spread about what had happened to Chastaine, a freshman girl, Maryellen, reported that she had also been raped by Jim. Since then Chastaine and Maryellen have endured nasty messages, cyberbullying, and threats in school. Chastaine has lost many of her so-called friends and now leans on Guillermo, his boyfriend Evan Granger, and Evan's cousin, Holly McCormack, for support. Especially Holly. When Jim pleads guilty to the charges against him, Chastaine's happiness is short-lived when she realizes the truth won't change the way her peers view her. Unable to take the news and the way people are treating her, Maryellen attempts suicide, and Chastaine blames herself for not being more supportive. However, Chastaine needs support too, and Holly is one of the only people she can now trust, but Chastaine isn't sure whether her attraction to Holly is only because of that or if it's something more.
