You Can't Hide by Sarah Mussi

Our first encounter with Lexi seems to be a memory of her experiencing domestic abuse at the hands of her stepfather. There seems to be no doubt that something very unpleasant is going on. Then we learn Lexi is in hospital.
We don’t know what’s happening, but Lexi is visited by her aunt Gillian and her friend Crystal. Each is urging her to remember, but she can’t tell what they want her to remember.
All Lexi can think of is her mother and Finn. Neither visits her, and she doesn’t understand why.
Through a mix of memories we learn more about Lexi, some of the events that have happened to her and - eventually - how she came to be where she is.
This was a quick read, and it could certainly raise awareness of a number of issues, but so much of it seemed unbelievable and I find it hard to believe someone of Lexi’s age wouldn’t have more of an awareness of these issues before acting.
Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for my review.
