This book will stay with me.
Bold. Daring. Real. Integrity. Dignity.
A young girl is sexually assaulted on her way home from a party. A true crime podcast personality visits the town to cover the trail months later.
As she investigates, a 25 year old death is brought to her attention. Hannah is still seeking justice for her sister's death.
This book does an amazing job exploring the complexity of rape. Victim blaming. Archaic definition of rape- must involve some sort of weapon. Ongoing violation of not just the rape- the rape kit, reliving the trauma via filing report, trial, media, gossip.
