Be aware that this book has pretty much all the trigger warnings. It is a really hard read but also beautiful and haunting and will linger in my head for a long time to come.

a similar book that is also super good is "what girls are made of" it has similar themes of sexuality, teenage girlhood, complex characters, and violence and it also contains a dog shelter subplot specifically.

“But boys will be boys, our favorite phrase that excuses so many things, while the only thing we have for the opposite gender is women, said with disdain and punctuated with an eye roll.”

I really love this book. It’s a very difficult read, but it’s so important. It examines rape culture in many different ways. I honestly really liked Alex as a character. She was interesting and I loved seeing how she was growing as a person. Jack for the most part I liked, but he made me uncomfortable and annoyed at parts(the point). I really loved his and Alex’s relationship. I did enjoy peekay as a character as well and her friendship with Alex, and Sara and Alex and peekays friendship.
