This devastating story starts off with Eden who is awakened in the middle of the night by Kevin who is her brother’s best friend. This chilling night changes Eden’s life because it is the night when she was raped. The story focuses on the lasting effects of trauma and the turn-taking that Eden decides to make because she doesn't feel like herself anymore.
I found this book to be informative regarding rape because there are multiple changes such as physical, psychological, and even emotional that 14-year-old Eden experiences. She often referred to her parents by their names and had countless dissociations throughout her daily routines. She becomes more sexually active and her reputation of being a good girl has vanished.
It is an eye-opening story that taught me a lot on the aftermath of rape.
