This book wasn't great. It was predictable. The more I think or talk about this book the worse I think it was. I only finished it because it was short and I could smash it on a 12 hour flight.
It had quite a bit of detail about the rapes so be emotionally prepared if you read it. That detail didn't seem to reflect the woman's feelings on it either. More about how the men treated her. The main character is systematically raped by multiple men. In parts I felt like it sympathised towards the rapists, offering explanations for why this happened. It was also victim blaming as other characters blame the victim for not being able to let go and the character isnt allowed to move on or get back to her loved ones until she does.
