i want the legacy of violence, passed down from generation to generation like an heirloom, to die with us. i don’t want our experiences of violence to be the one thing we have in common with each other.

A brilliant book that tackles all aspects of this issue, I can't recommend it enough. It's brilliantly researched and the fact that it starts with a trigger warning was greatly appreciated.

This book really made me think about my own experiences and I had some tough realisations along the way. I would say to read this book with caution if you have past sexual or relationship trauma as it can be very triggering and confronting.

I see some reviews saying the book isn't sex or kink positive but that is not the impression I got from this book.

Overall a very well researched and important read, for all people.
