Gosh, this was a hard one to read. Maybe even harder to review.
It’s such an important book about
rape
and all its possible consequences. It’s so raw. So real. So painful. 
I was going to write that this was a lengthy book? That… not a lot happened? But at the same time… SO MUCH happened. And it was really hard to read to be honest.
Being believed. Having a story that you don’t want to share (for whatever reason). Completely changing as a person because of it. Putting blame on yourself… All of it.
The ending was so lovely though and I feel relieved about that.


Please be careful and check the trigger warnings before reading this one.
I can’t wait to read The Way I Am Now. Onto healing. 🤍
