This book has a great interpretation of what SA does to a teenager. And how it branches out and affects so many aspects of daily life. Especially in a life of a still growing, and figuring out who you are teen. It connected with me in a personal level, and I found my self sobbing. I had to stop reading a few times, because I had to clear my mind and recollect as it reminded me of my own personal life as a teen. I’m an adult now, and my experiences are behind me, yet still are a part of me. I loved this book. And would recommend.
