Could not stop reading! Hooked by the title, and the opening sentence, this fast paced story kept me wanting more.
Raw and emotional read of a young girl, Stacey, telling her story about how she was raped. Feeling like she can’t tell the police or her family, Stacey goes to her best-friend, Patrice, who encourages her to write the story down. Caught in between the aftermath of the attack and her challenging family life, the story and characters lift from the page and become an interesting read!
What’s interesting about this novel is how the story starts with the aftermath. What initially looks like unsustainable storyline, it soon becomes full of rich subplot and reminiscent of Alice Sebold’s memoir, Lucky. You're drawn into Stacey's family life and her best-friend drama and soon develops into something more than what you're expecting.
