I really love how this author ties poetry into prose and uses pieces of history to connect with the present. This book was also great for speaking out on misogyny and sexual assault. However, I do think it dragged on a little too long. Would recommend, just not if you’re in a reading slump!

very original characters in my mind and a authentic, soulful and respectful yet honest story of SA and rape. however, the plot pretty much went in circles in the second half, where every chapter felt like the same thing happening over and over with different characters
