There are a lot of content warnings, so take care of yourself. But this was such an important book to read. Male SA is so stigmatized and not really discussed, and SA is a problem that affects us all. We all need to be kind to one another about the topic, regardless of gender, sexuality, and circumstances surrounding the event.

Whoa! The poetic, atypical style the story was told and the emotional depth it reached was so powerful. I will always remember this one.

allapaz's review

3.75

the writing here was killer, the character explorations were good, if not a little inconsistent with some characters given way more depth than others, but my biggest question with this one is....who is this for? a VERY difficult read and yes it's impactful and raw and disgusting in places, but this seems marketed toward the social demographic that already knows what the commentary is saying? 

tl;dr: good book, hard to recommend
