Ottimo libro per giovani ragazzi/e nei loro primi anni di adulto per una riflessione sulla condizione di donna e sul ruolo che la società impone su di ella.



Il finale mi ha rimasta un po’ spiazzata o forse sono solo io a non essere stata capace di capire la protagonista.

Moderate: Child abuse, Rape, and Acephobia/Arophobia

The SA/rape is narrated from a past experience by the survivor to the MC. It’s not super graphic but the adult survivor was a child at the time and it’s still potentially triggering. The sexual harassment is pretty graphic

(dude says creepy things about sperm while masturbating covertly without the MC realizing at first)

, happens to MC in a current scene, and left me nauseous. There is also a graphic description of MC describing having consensual sex with a past bf while being sex-repulsed. The acephobia comes into play when MC narrates how others tried to get her to view or try sex different ways instead of accepting she just isn’t in to sex.

CN. Child Abuse

I feel like broken record atm, but I've genuinely never read anything like it and I loved it. I feel like it has changed or unlocked something in me as a reader, especially one with ADHD, to appreciate a different kind of novel. Really hard to put my finger on it, but there was just something magical about how everything and nothing it all was. 

I am going to need some time to digest and process this, but I absolutely adored it.
