Description:

Ryder Burke is a slut. It's a known fact in Madison High that Ryder is down for pretty much everything - the stories written in the bathroom stalls are law, after all. Her infamy doesn't stop her from holding at the top of Madison High's food chain, though, until something happens at Georgia Brenner's New Years Eve.

All anyone knows is that Ryder was seen being led into a room by Ryan Morgan, Georgia's on again off again, and Mason Brenner, Georgia's twin brother, and that, two hours later Ryder was at the hospital.

But who will believe the school slut when she cries rape?

Weston Stark is the new kid in school. The son of a lawyer. He knows that Ryder should be able to tell her side of the story no matter what the rumors about her imply.

The problem is that no one else is willing to listen.

Thoughts:

At times, you see, you come across a book so beautiful, so heartbreaking, so real, so true and so human, that it makes you rethink life.

I haven't gave you guys a suggestion for over a year. A lot has changed in the course of this year. I've gotten to a place I had never imagined. I have grown. I've mature, and I'm sure you all have too. And over the course of this year, I've read hundreds of books (Specially at exam times. I don't know man. But all the great books only seem to pop up right before an important exam.) and I've met hundreds of characters. Hundreds of lives. Hundreds of stories. But not a single one of them has touched me as deeply as this one.

The Undoing of Ryder Burke is, in one word, the greatest book of Wattpad. Never in my entire life have I read a book so real, that it literally called out to me. I couldn't peel my eyes away from my phone even as I cried, sobbed, smiled, awed, and cried once again. This book is a masterpiece. The author is not just an author. She is a writer. In all sense of that word.

She doesn't write. She bleeds upon her pages. And those blood carries all those mistakes, horrible secrets of society that we've gotten so used to, we just laugh and shrug it off. Secrets that are so real, yet terrifying that we unknowingly, or knowingly, close our eyes and pretend that to be in a fake la la land just so we could escape reality.

The protagonist, Ryder Burke, is the greatest character I've ever read about. She isn't all nice and bubbly like most characters. She isn't someone whom you like instantly. Her words and thoughts doesn't make you think, 'Wow. She's so great! I wish I was more like her!' nor do they make you think, 'Wow, the author is really trying hard to make us like the characters.'

Ryder isn't perfect. And no, she's not just someone with a few pimples and over weight. She has flaws that are far greater, far more real, that simple pimples. She's moody. She's bitchy. She's flawed. She's human. She's real. Her story is real. This book is real.

It's a must read for fans of The Girl He Left Behind. After I read TGHLB, I thought no book could ever be greater than this. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but The Undoing of Ryder Burke is far, far greater than TGHLB. At least to me, a strong supporter of feminism, stop slut shaming and equality, it's a book that can never be topped.

I don't think I'll ever be able to put it in words. The Undoing of Ryder Burke is truly a book that is over the rules and regulations set by society. It completely, and utterly, shatters everything you've ever known.

It's the best damn book I've ever read in my seventeen and a half years of living.
