I'm not sure I have the right words for this one. Such a well written book, but should come with some serious trigger warnings. Written from the 15 year old girls perspective retelling her story of sexual abuse by her 42 your old teacher. This one was very heavy and very detailed and graphic so not something for everyone. But it was still such a great book covering how sexual abuse of girls by older men really effects some. How thinking it's not wrong if I was a willing participant. Gaslighting, guilt, fear, confusion, disassociation and so much more.
