i really loved this novel. it felt so empowering to read. the characters are relatable and lovely and the neurodivergent representation is so good. it’s for the ones who are afraid to speak up, or who can’t. for the ones who are trying to put words to an experience of rape that they didn’t define as rape when it happened because the conditioning we are all exposed to makes us deny our own experiences. for the ones who want to be a voice. for the ones who are angry and the ones who are tired

and also love the author’s content warning at the beginning and the inclusion of resources for anyone who might read this book and need support
