Helpful Score: 1

We had to read this book as part of a Human Sexuality course in college, and I have to say I've never been so utterly frustrated by a YA book before. I'm not even sure I can classify it as a "good" book -- "good" books to me are ones where you can identify with the protagonist/main character, not books where you constantly find yourself wanting to strangle said main character because he keeps refusing to own up to his actions. I've read reviews that say this perfectly described boys the reviewers attended high school with, and I have to add to that, including "most boys of the current generation that I've had the misfortune to run across" -- no one takes responsibility for what they do anymore, it's always someone else's fault, etc etc. I suppose Inexcusable is a good book in the sense that it brings out these strong feelings, but... I dunno, it wasn't my cup of tea then and it's not now, either. Nor was I a big fan of how the chapters tossed back and forth between the night of Keir's partying and his senior year in general -- a bit too confusing for this reader.
