A haunting #MeToo account of a woman denied both immediate aid and eventual justice when her school chose to cover up her assault to protect its own reputation. Crawford's memoir is beautifully written, opening new avenues of conversation by digging into (US) boarding school culture and examining terminology around cases of trauma. Some pieces of the story may seem infuriatingly familiar, but Crawford's thoroughness and willingness to look at the night of her assault as only a small piece in a much bigger story makes this one well worth the read.
