Jess Gordon is a stereotypical college party girl, constantly drunk and getting into toxic relationships. That doesn't really change throughout the story. To get revenge (unendorsed by the actual victims) for a crime committed against another girl, Jess Gordon decides to fight fire with fire and convinces the girls in Unity to assault the males of the Knights group and "give them a makeover", then post their embarrassment online. From this she gets involved with a guy from the Knights and thus commences a toxic demeaning relationship between the two, disguised as college foolishness.
Warning, this book is highly sexually graphic. I couldn't stand Jess and her relationship with "Killer". This relationship was pure toxicity hidden under the weak veil of "feminism" and sex. If I had a friend who was like Jess, she would need an immediate relationship intervention. Also, she would need a debriefing of what sex is. She had a no sex rule, and acted like she was following it, but then would have oral sex and other forms of non-standard sex. Thats still sex. She was still sleeping with this guy. Also everything about this relationship was toxic. He constantly put her down, and she he, but they kept coming together, and I was supposed to be happy about that? It was so toxic. I can't stand it. Also, on a final note, THIS IS NOT A YOUNG ADULT NOVEL! THIS IS EROTICA! I have no idea why this was categorized as YA, but it is not, and that needs to be fixed. I do not recommend Summer Skin and give it the rating of ONE AND A HALF STARS OUT OF FIVE!!!
