My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell
4.0
This book had a lot of nuances about sexual assault and the stories a victim can tell herself to justify such an awful act. The characters are well developed and will elicit strong emotional reactions from the reader. This book will help start conversation about consent (even if underage), sexual assault, and the implications behind rape/assault. A lot of the moments in the book are extremely intense, so take caution if you need.
The only critique is that I thought the book went on a bit too long. Parts of the story could have been consolidated. The reader was exposed to a lot of repetitive thoughts, and it was a bit like beating a dead horse. But, I don't think it was to the point where it affected the story/enjoyment of the read too much.
