I absolutely loved TLOSC!  This was such a powerful read; author Sonora Reyes very realistically depicts the complex range of thoughts and feelings following SA.
*spoiler alert*  

Protagonist & narrator Ari is autistic, has selective mutism, and experiences isolation from her peers until she is contacted by an anonymous individual who is part of a club of students who have been assaulted and wronged by the same person.  Ari forms community with other members of the club as they  process their traumas and carry out different approaches for getting justice.  


Author Reyes crafts healthy models of consensual, neurodiversity-affirming friendships and relationships among characters, making this an important read for teens and adults of all ages.  There is a wlw romance, a nonbinary character, and a neuro-inclusive pride celebration.
 I wish this book could be a series on television!
