I love the topic this book discusses. I really respect how it doesn’t shy away from the disturbing descriptions, but doesn’t dwell on them for fun and entertainment. Just enough to make an uncomfortable subject feel as uncomfortable and painful as it actually is.

Whoa! The poetic, atypical style the story was told and the emotional depth it reached was so powerful. I will always remember this one.

This book was like nothing I’ve ever read before. I want to strongly encourage folks to check the content warnings prior to delving into this book but once you’ve done that if you’re at a place where you feel you can read this book I’d highly recommend it. 

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.
