Language: Swedish
A very light read which won't take you more that a day. It covers a very important topic of cyber bullying. In this book a Facebook side is made and called 'Hate the Whore' in recognition of a girl in school who is in turn bullied on this side. People encourages students to Facebook Like this page. It is a truly awful situation and it really gets to you. This situation also has an impact on a friendship and school life. Depressing in its topic but very important to bring up.
Plot Summary:
Jonna and Gloria are 15 years old and best friend. They're not particularly popular, but at the same time not bullied. But then they go along to a party and get to dance with Robin, the hottest, coolest guy in school. He seems to think they're totally okay, even cute. It's almost to good to be true. And it is. Mean comments are written on Gloria's blog and on Facebook a Hate the Whore-side is made. Gloria feels so low she starts to cut herself again. Jonna has to do something. She can't allow it to get worse for Gloria. She decides to give them a taste of their own medicaid, because online anything can happen. Who's a whore now?
