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.

it's a very heavy book. just go into it keeping in mind all of these.

it was difficult to read. particularly the transcript of the talkshow. i was shaking and had to walk away for a couple if hours before continuing the book.

last month, a horrific incident happened in my city. more so, because in some ways it is connected to me and people like me as a collective. and it hurts to see the conversations & events that happened in real life and HAVE been happening now be so so so universal.

this was a very well written depiction of rape culture that resides in society even today and in many ways, an extremely difficult book to digest. one of my only complaints though would be the lack of voice of the trans man who was also a victim in the book. it just didn't seem fair that the voice of a trans person is the only one that apparently didn't need to be heard.

i read this in physical form as well as in audio and the cast of voice actors actually did a wonderful job. a huge hats off to them. specifically to the voice of jamar sands & ezra fisher. impeccable voice acting on their parts.

all in all, would recommend even if i had a few complaints.

i am utterly incapable of articulating just how powerful this book is, but it is both a work of art and a work of serious societal importance.

it is also extremely triggering, so please, for your own sake, check your warnings and do not go into this blind.

There are a lot of content warnings, so take care of yourself. But this was such an important book to read. Male SA is so stigmatized and not really discussed, and SA is a problem that affects us all. We all need to be kind to one another about the topic, regardless of gender, sexuality, and circumstances surrounding the event.
