Sorry I’m Not Sorry is the third novel in the Mean Girl Makeover Trilogy, a series geared toward tackling the issue of bullying. In each book of the series, author Nancy Rue focuses on a different character’s point of view. This latest release centers on the perspective of the bully, who happens to be Kylie Steppe, the Queen Bee of Gold Country Middle School. When Kylie’s bullying finally catches up to her, she finds herself expelled, forced into counseling and required to volunteer at a summer camp. Just when she thinks life can’t get any worse, Kylie finds herself the victim of bullying.
Sorry I’m Not Sorry is a spot-on perspective of life as a middle school student in a world where bullying has become the norm. Through a creative and engaging storyline, Nancy Rue does a great job of helping readers understand the powerful effects of our words and actions, as well as provides some great advice for any teenager dealing with bullying.
This book is more than just another middle school novel. It also provides some great talking points and tools that could have a profound impact on a young teenager in particular. I would encourage parents and youth workers to pick up a copy and begin a conversation with a teen—it might change someone’s life.
