The rape scens aren't shown, but the character's give details and it can be very disturbing. Also, the way it shows how the media/the public in large react to a female serial rapist is also very very upsetting. However, that's the point of the book but be aware. It's very upsetting.tey_lynn's review against another edition

This book follows several men who’ve been raped by an unknown woman and we’re following them as they work to pick up the pieces within their lives and regain some sense of normalcy or something new. We follow them through journal entries, internet searches, online chats, and media reactions and they all come together to make a rich story that is able to delve into difficult topics including sexual assault and rape as it relates to racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, toxic masculinity, media coverage and our criminal justice system.
This was an incredibly difficult read but I’m so glad I read it and I can tell I’ll be thinking about the questions it raised for years to come.
