The good:
- it's very hard to talk about
rape and sexual assault, especially as a survivor. So I definitely give the author her props for approaching both that and school shootings, and depicting them both realistically. - The story was incredibly engaging. Although the characters were largely unlikable and at times insufferable, the plot had me locked in and I couldn't wait to get to the bottom of Ani's story and understand why she turned out the way that she did.
- I think it was important to show characters like Ani's mother and
the planned parenthood nurse . Women who perpetuate patriarchy by dismissing, downplaying, and outright ignoring obvious abuse.
The bad:
- Right out the gate we are introduced to Ani's disordered eating, but at no point is it acknowledged as such, or as a thing for her to work on. Both times her best friend bright it up, she dismissed her and moved on.
- The plot with
the teacher was suuuuper unnecessary, and it was never acknowledged how creepy and inappropriate it was. - (A personal gripe, not so much a fault of the author.) I would have liked to see more of how
the documentary turned out and the fallout for Dean . I understand that Ani's closure came from the face to face acknowledgement of his crimes against her, but it would have been nice to see him finally lose.
