Send by Patty Blount

Dan wants to lay low at his new school, but he can’t help but intervene when he sees a boy named Brandon about to be beaten up. Dan’s desire for anonymity is because he doesn’t want anyone to find out who he really is...a convicted sex offender who spent 9 months in juvenile detention after a social media post led to a boy’s suicide. He didn't mean for any of this to happen, and his time in juvenile detention has left many physical and mental scars. His grandfather won't speak to him, and Dan just cannot forgive himself for what he did. As he starts to make new friends, Dan tries to start living a normal life and make sure Brandon is okay.

I really enjoyed Send. It was such a quick read and so relevant to what goes into today's world. Clicking SEND is so easy, but it is so important to stop and think about the repercussions.
