READ TRIGGER/CONTENT WARNINGS
this was a great read (not necessarily because of the story since it discusses r*p* and s*x*u*l a*s*u*t, but the way it was told). It's multiple pov and can get pretty graphic. I wish we got a little bit of expansion on Michael and Sebastian as they were the victims we got the least amount of time with. I also didn't love the ending, but it was wrapped up nicely enough for me with how the victims coped and tried to heal.

allapaz's review

3.75

the writing here was killer, the character explorations were good, if not a little inconsistent with some characters given way more depth than others, but my biggest question with this one is....who is this for? a VERY difficult read and yes it's impactful and raw and disgusting in places, but this seems marketed toward the social demographic that already knows what the commentary is saying? 

tl;dr: good book, hard to recommend

This was a work of art. I do not think everyone would like it and I never would dream I would have seen it as a 5 star. I strongly recommend the audio book. It’s done by many different characters and gives the book even more power to put your right in these characters lives. It’s gut wrenching and feels so real, it is real life and no one talks about it like this. Read the content warnings, it’s very graphic and crosswalks so many different traumas. This book will make you question your own heart.

I've never read anything like this. It broke my heart again and again and again. It reminded me of some difficult truths pur culture likes to pretend don't exist. It's a slap in the face, a kick to the gut, but a necessary read. I couldn't put it down. I had to put it down tho in order to process the emotions I felt. Read this with an open mind and heart.
