This was a really good book! I loved how different the two main characters were but yet you rooted and emphasized with both of them. Dani and Claire were both so strong and driven and it was refreshing. I loved how the book was entertaining and attention grabbing. It had great commentary on sexual assault and how different it can look, affect people, and that it can happen to anyone. It gave a realistic depiction of sexual assault. But the entire book wasn't heavy and dark there was fun moments. It was definitely more of a character focused read but the plot was gripping as well. The best part of this book was how Dani and Claire slowly started to understand, care for, and become friends with each other.  Oh this was so cute and I think people will get a lot of reading it. I also read it on Audio and it was a great Audiobook. The narrators did a great job drawing you in. I would love to read more books from this author in the future and overall read more books like this. 10/10 would recommend.
