Make sure to check the TW’s if you’re going to read this book as it deals with a lot of sensitive topics.
Overall I enjoyed this book, but the content in which it dealt with meant it took me longer to read than normal. I could only manage a chapter or two at a time without getting mad or irritated with the characters. This book had me asking a lot of questions, and confronting my own beliefs and thoughts surrounding rape and sexual assault. It was a very good book in addressing those issues and raising those questions. It really makes you think and I liked that.
