Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown
I guess because it's something I would never do, the repercussions of sexting never come to mind. This book changed all that.
Ashleigh is about to start her junior year of high school. Her boyfriend, Kaleb, is about to head off to college. Ashleigh is a bit jealous because Kaleb would rather spend time with his boys than her. So, after having too much to drink one night at a party, Ashleigh is convinced by her friends to send Kaleb a naked picture of herself. Kaleb supposedly keeps it to himself, but Ashleigh is skeptical, which ultimately leads to their break up. Because Kaleb broke up with Ashleigh, her friends take it upon themselves to prank Kaleb. He thinks Ashleigh had something to do with it, so, to retaliate, he sends her picture to his friends, telling them to do whatever they want with it.
The picture, basically, goes viral, and ultimately gets back to Ashleigh's father, the superintendent. Ashley is arrested for distributing child pornography, and must serve sixty hours of community service. She meets a friend there that shows her she is so much more than that picture.
Great book. I would have liked to have known what punishment Kaleb received though.
