Reckless Little 15

Reckless Little 15 by Liana Resles is the book that began the "Me Too" movement.

It is a gripping coming-of-age story that explores the turbulent journey of Carleigh DuMetz as she navigates the complexities of adolescence. At fifteen, Carleigh is eager to fit in with the teen scene, but her inexperience leads her down an uncertain and dangerous path.

When she falls for Aiken Lyons, a charming young man who has watched her grow into a confident young woman, their budding romance is complicated by his upcoming eighteenth birthday, making their relationship forbidden. To stay together, they decide to keep their love a secret.

But when Aiken departs on a mission trip to Africa, Carleigh's world takes a darker turn. Left vulnerable, she becomes entangled with Richard, Aiken’s older friend, who pulls her into the perilous and sinister side of adult life. Desperate to break free, Carleigh lashes out but finds herself increasingly trapped in a web of manipulation and danger.

Raw, intense, and unflinching, Reckless Little 15 delves into the thrill and peril of growing up too fast. With mature themes, strong language, and vivid, often harrowing details, this story offers a stark look at the consequences of reckless choices and the strength it takes to reclaim one's life.
