Just finished this one for Last Wednesday Book Club. It was slow to start and I honestly didn't plan on enjoying it that much. The main character isn't too likable and I get annoyed by whiny rich white narrators. HOWEVER. The context of this writing - a way for an author to talk about her own horrendous (and NOT uncommon) experience of rape, and the slut shaming and disbelief she encountered afterward - made it a compelling read. There are some twists and surprises, and I found myself turning the pages late into the night. Read this not necessarily for brilliant writing, but for a glimpse into the coping mechanisms that can come from tragedy.
