This book was really engaging and explored some really interesting topics - consent, friendship, drinking culture in Australian universities etc. However I didn't love how it all culminated - the main character's friend Eve became the villain for stealing her story of abuse, rather than the men who abused her. There were the beginnings of an interesting point, but it could have been more nuanced. And it was probably the least diverse book I've read in a long time. Basically, I enjoyed reading it, but it annoyed me a lot.
