The essays were, for the most part, very well written with a sense of honesty and confession. There were a couple I felt were out of place, or lacking, but ultimately overall it was incredible.
I would highly recommend to anyone who has experienced sexual violence to read this. It was a reminder that however we reacted and responded was correct. We all have the right to move forward, or freeze, or go backwards — there is no “correct” way to survive.
In saying that, this book was also an incredibly difficult read. It is much needed, but check your emotions and mental health first always.

4.5
There were some elements of hope, with changes in attitudes having gone through these experiences, understanding that we need to alter how we raise our children and react to rape culture. However, it is seemingly so ingrained in society that we have a huge way to go still.
The stories were amazingly written, emotional, and incredibly powerful, with such variety. It’s such an important read, although it comes with quite a large trigger warning for anything relating to any of the topics mentioned above. If you feel able to, you just HAVE to read this book.
