Scars by Cheryl Rainfield
4.0

An intense YA story of sexual abuse recovery, self harm, and surviving homophobia.
Some readers found the instalove unreaslistic, but it didn't bother me -- two traumatized teens falling in love super fast seems realistic to me.
Less realistic was some of the adult behavior -- a therapist should immediately contact authorities when knowing their client is being stalked, and
SpoilerI question why her father would let her see a therapist while fearing her outing him as an abuser.

But overall this was a powerful story recommended for teens.
