Publisher's summary

From the award-winning author of Some Boys comes an unflinching examination of rape culture that delves into a family torn apart by sexual assault.

It's been two years since the night that changed Ashley's life. Two years since she was raped by her brother's teammate. And a year since she sat in a court and watched as he was given a slap on the wrist sentence. But the years have done nothing to stop the pain.

It's been two years of hell for Derek. His family is totally messed up, and he and his sister are barely speaking. He knows he handled it all wrong. Now at college, he has to come to terms with what happened, and the rape culture that he was inadvertently a part of that destroyed his sister's life.

When it all comes to a head at Thanksgiving, Derek and Ashley have to decide if their relationship can be saved - and if their family can ever be whole again.

Read the first book loved it reads this one loved

I read the first book by this author. It was so good I really enjoyed it, It is such a sad topic but a very important one. I enjoyed this book I love how the author always gives you two different viewpoints. I hope that this author does another book. I will be buying it when or if she does

very long lecture

I usually like to read adult fiction, romance suspense,etc. I steer far away from high school settings in books, however, this book is written well and describes in great detail the after affects of rape. There's no inappropriate language or scenes I actually think this would be a good book to have high schoolers read. It shows the point of view of the victim and the impact it has on friends and family around them. It is very lecture-y (I know that's not a word but it fits here), but it did keep my attention throughout the book and just kept making me think how high-schoolers (girls and boys) should read it.
