When I was a teenaged girl, I experienced the most intense few years of vile jealousy, hatred, and out-of-control scenarios that movies like Heathers and The Craft could barely scratch the surface on. To say that Tron evokes a brutally honest rendition of her own teenage years similar to these, where her struggles between herself and her mother, false friendships, and identity hunts are depicted, would be the ultimate understatement. SUSPECT is the story of a girl caught between adulthood-where the unsettling aspects of high school hell cut through all judgments. An emotionally jagged observation from both present, past, and future, Tron recounts and recognizes how adults fail us, friendships are twisted, and in the end, it's our connections in the least likely of places that hold us together.

Teens only have two powers: the power to imagine, and the power to bully. Gina Tron wielded the first and faced the brunt of the second during the Columbine era. This harrowing memoir is a must-read for anyone who never fit, or who has ever been afraid and enraged.

– Nick Mamatas, author of The Second Shooter

Suspect delivers not just a memoir but an investigation of violence and society's inability (or unwillingness) to tackle the root causes of mass murder. Like the Neo-version of Hawthorne's 'The Scarlet Letter, Tron looks back at a troubled time in America with curiosity, when once she inadvertently became a town's parian. Rich in shock rock, spiked collars, and Mountain Dew, Tron's memoir is a rich piece of the past we can't stop revisiting and dare not ignore.

Suspect is an unflinching, sharp-edged, and smart as hell story of post-Columbine America. It walks the line between journalism and memoir, giving readers deeply personal insight into a teen’s life in a rural New England town, while interstitially providing factual and sourced information to give context. A unique and powerful book.

Gina Tron’s Suspect is a compelling and evocative exploration of the harsh realities of female adolescence, particularly for those of us who grew up feeling “othered” by our peers. True, not every unpopular teenage girl is accused of being a prospective school shooter or domestic terrorist–but the unwarranted scrutiny, suspicion, and ostracization that come with such an accusation are all-too-similar to the hell inflicted upon any teenage girl deemed a social outcast. In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Tron delves into her own unique and painful experiences to illustrate the universal struggle of young women navigating a world in which they are undervalued, unprotected, and denied the benefit of the doubt.
