When I realized that my WIP was going edgy in the sexual dept, I picked up Teach Me and Rainbow.
Teach Me (about a female student who has an affair with a teacher) was well written, but I had trouble identifying with the MC. It was good, but not a favorite.
Rainbow Party was so poorly written that I never finished it, the characters were like cardboard cutouts, it was BAD.
I know I read Smack, but it was several years back when I also read The Acid House and Trainspotting and several others that are blurring in my memory, it is on my shelf right beside Crank, which I haven't read because it's in verse and somehow I don't get very excited about books in verse.
The only other thing I've read lately that might be considered Edgy is Inexcusable by Chris Lynch, I mean, writing from a date rapist's point of view is pretty out there. Again, not a favorite because you simply can't like the MC, but an interesting book, thought provoking for sure.
