One of the most beautiful books I've ever read. Perfectly represents life as a survivor of sexual assault- I appreciate that it didn't gloss over the ugly parts. Lex is allowed to feel the pain, and anger, and trauma- but she is also allowed to heal. She's allowed to have hope, and have good things happen to her. Her pain is so, so real, but so is her joy. I don't think I've ever gotten through this book without dissolving into a puddle of tears. This book is so important to me as a survivor, and one of the books I'll read over and over again.
