This was even better than The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholoic School! I love Sonora Reyes' writing so much. 

This book was so healing for me. I was in an abusive relationship for around 5 years. And I was SA'd numerous times throughout. Ari's thoughts and feelings about hers are very similar to my own. 

The Luis Ortega Survival Club was an excellent reminder for me that there was nothing I could have done differently. That what happened was NEVER my fault. 

 This was so empowering. It was nice seeing someone so horrible get exactly what they deserve. 

Books like these are so important. I wish I had this growing up. I'm immensely grateful to the author for bringing this story into the world. 

If you have your own Luis Ortega, I see you. You are not alone. It was never your fault. And I am sending you so much love.
