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.spookymartinireads's review

Some parts read like spoken word poetry. Some are simply fiction. Almost all of it is horror, though I imagine it's well-researched and true horror. The sexual assaults are described with simultaneously less and more detail than needed to get their point across. The way people respond to the victims is horrifying. The way we alienate and vilify victims and survivors of sexual assault is horrifying.
I'm not quite sure how to rate this book, so I won't.
