Furious Thing by Jenny Downham is a story about growing, loving, and most of all- anger management. Fifteen-year-old Lexi has a complicated life- she’s in love with her stepbrother, not getting along with her stepfather, and not doing too well in school. But most of all- Lexi is angry- really really angry. Follow her as she navigates life and learns how to harness her anger.Through her use of vivid imagery, Downham makes the city of London appear before the reader’s eyes. Downham also conveys strong underlying themes of feminism, helping women find their inner power, and most of all, showing that humans are allowed to be angry. I highly recommend this book to an older teen who is comfortable with curse words and scenes with sexuality.
