You can definitely tell this book was written with such care towards victims of SA. The author really took her time in exploring what happens even after someone works up the courage to press charges including the huge problem that is victim-blaming. I was so absorbed in this story! I didn’t want it to end. I also absolutely loved how there was no romance or love-interest in this novel. Maggie wasn’t saved by a guy who came to “rescue” her - it was all about how she worked to heal from her own trauma.
