i feel changed and moved through this story. while being a victim, i willingly picked this book up to read it. i didn't imagine myself finding parts of it being triggering since our situations are vastly different. however, i did find myself in vanessa, even if it was a small part. this story has changed my perspective and made me understand i could move on. i am allowed to move on and i don't always have to be the person who is marked.
