Wow.   The things this book had to say about society..so sad, so true.   The way it was written..unique and moving.   The subject matter..I only hope the strength of this book will open some eyes, but I know how we, as a society, are..and it probably won’t.  Would love to see this in a college classroom someday though..the discussions it could start.

Visceral and impactful. Amber takes a topic that has been dehumanized by virtue of the victims (read: little girls are taught to yell “fire” instead of “rape” because people are more likely to respond to a fire) and forces the reader to confront the dichotomy of victimhood and survivorship. I found the book painful, gut wrenching, powerful, and horrifying. TW throughout.
