Amelia Wilkes’s strict father does not allow her to date, but that doesn’t stop the talented, winsome high school senior from carrying on a secret romance with her classmate Anthony Winter. Desperately in love, the two envision a life together and plan to tell Amelia’s parents only after she turns eighteen and is legally an adult. Anthony’s mother, Kim, who teaches at their school, knows—and keeps—their secret. But the couple’s passion is exposed sooner than planned: Amelia’s father, Harlan, is shocked and infuriated to find naked pictures of Anthony on his daughter’s computer. Just hours later, Anthony is arrested.
Despite Amelia’s frantic protests, Harlan uses his wealth and influence with local law enforcement and the media to label Anthony a deviant who preyed on his innocent daughter. Spearheaded by a zealous prosecutor anxious to turn the case into a public crusade against “sexting,” the investigation soon takes an even more disturbing and destructive turn.
As events spiral wildly out of control and the scandalous story makes national news, Amelia and Anthony risk everything in a bold and dangerous attempt to clear their names and end the madness once and for all.
A captivating page-turner, Therese Fowler’s Exposure is also a deftly crafted, provocative, and timely novel that serves as a haunting reminder of the consequences of love in the modern age.
My Opinion
This book was really interesting to me because it really opened my eyes to the current "sexting" scandal and what can really happen when the law gets involved! I couldn't believe that this could happen in real life but the book is based on the author's son's real life events!It was written really well and had me on the edge of my seat from the beginning! It was a very unique and modern storyline and I was captivated from the beginning!
Just a warning: because of the nature of the story and its plot, the story is pretty graphic and I would not recommend this book for anyone under age 16.
I recommend Exposure for all adults who have teenagers and children who have cell phones and text. "Sexting" is a real problem and a real situation with teens (and adults!) and it was very relevant and eye opening to me!
Buy It: You can purchase Exposure for $15.35 on Amazon.com
