I enjoyed every essay, which is a feat given the subject matter. In the end I feel I understand better, yet somehow not at all. But I’m glad I read it, and I think we could have a better world if we all thought more about the complexities of rape in the way Abdulali does.

Sohaila Abdulali has written a book that is incredibly honest, incredibly intimate, and effortlessly authoritative. the voice of the book is analyzing where we are at in our fight against rape culture, and in the same breath, we see all the ways that humanity got us here. despite all the truth that Abdulali lays out for us, we are not left without hope.
