Our Little Secret by Emily Carrington

adventurous challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Richard's grooming process was describe really good almost made me think of my situation I loved the art

I'm glad even though Emily was being groomed she had Richard's daughter to be her friend
"I would enjoy you until I died"🤢
It really shows the fear kids who are sexually assaulted have 
"They'll hate me" "they won't believe me"
Broke my heart when Emily thought the rape was over because Richard was moving but sadly it wasn't
July 15th 2010 27 years after Richard first raped her (she was 15) she sat him on board of a ferry
"It was best if I was drunk because then I didn't really feel what they were doing"
July 16th 2010 is when she made the call to a lawyer
The age for consent in 1982 (when it first happened) was 14 so that means what Richard did wasnt know as a criminal offense and it didn't change till 2008

This book made me sick to read but kinda glad the author wrote this book I hope she's doing well I just wanna give her a hug
