TW: grooming, SA, child abuse

This book was incredibly dark and hard to listen to at times. I think it was important to hear grooming through Vanessa, and listen to her PTSD process and how someone completely broken can go through life. It pains me that some women don’t have the confidence to end Straine’s abuse, but it provided me with a story of how women without confidence may feel.

I’m glad I got another perspective on grooming, but, you will need a lighter read after this.

4.5

Very interesting take on the topic of being a victim, surviving SA, growing up with/without guilt and other consequences. The book was rough at times because of the detailed descriptions of intimate situations between adult and minor. Definitely worth reading (or listening, the narrator did amazing job).
