radlibrarianmama 's review for:
Sex & Violence
by Carrie Mesrobian
This is one of those books that stuck with me for a long time after reading it. At first, I really disliked Evan as a protagonist, but as I learned more about him through his letters to Collette and as he starts to open up to Baker, I really started to care for him and get the full extent of his trauma. I think that it verges on New Adult territory and definitely would only recommend it to mature teens. I think that books that really get the PTSD experience are few and far between, but this felt very real. You root for Evan to get back to some sense of normal or at least be able to take a freaking shower, but know it will take a lot to get him to feel safe anywhere. It was a very emotional and visceral read for me and I think it deserves all the accolades it has received.
