After the Fall by Kate Hart
3.0
Raychel has always been close with the Richardson brothers and family. Her best friend is the older brother Matt, who has been harboring a major crush on her for years. She only sees him as a friend. However, after being sexually assaulted by one of her classmates, Raychel begins reaching out for comfort from the Richardson boys, Matt as a friend and romantically with the younger brother Andrew. Neither knows really what happened between Raychel and the boy who hurt her, but she is working on finding her voice and demanding that guys treat her the way she demands to be treated.
This novel works through the concept of consent. It discusses society's acceptance of allowing men to take advantage of women because they were asking for it or implying things implicitly. Raychel and co. were forced to look unflinchingly at themselves, which made many of the characters unlikable.
