The topic of how we discuss the trauma of past SA has definitely evolved since this book. While the love story was sweet and lovely, I couldn’t enjoy it because of how poorly the SA was handled in this book, and how it was constantly clobbered over our head. Not that it isn’t an important thing to talk about but I was constantly on edge because it was brought up so often. The SA topic was handled in a jarring and blunt manner. From the description of the act, too many details brought up again and again of how cruelly victims are treated, etc. I found it really triggering and I don’t suggest this book for other SA survivors

I refuse to say the fact it was SA is a spoiler. It’s in front of our faces from almost the very beginning that the FMC was SAed in some way and that everyone in her life acted cruelly.
