This book is definitely one for teenagers and adults alike to read, dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault, you do find yourself becoming emotionally invested in the story.
This story follows the lives of three different teenagers, Q, Charlotte and Max, through boarding school. Q is a vulnerable character, a victim of rape, and she carries with her a feeling of despair. Max and Charlotte help us to understand the rape culture in school life, and how Q works through her trauma, despite having to see the person who raped her at school every day. Watching Q battle what happened to her, with her own spiralling thoughts where she is disgusted at herself for not fighting back, it leads to a rather harrowing story.
The best thing about reading this book was watching Q's mental battle, but seeing that there is light at the end of the tunnel for her. I love the quote on the cover 'Boys will be held accountable'. Well deserved four stars
