I won't tell you anything about this story because I want you guys to have the whole experience for yourself. BUT. I would tell you how this story made me feel.
I am no wordsmith and this was one of those times that I wished I was so I can tell you guys how fantastic this book was for me. This freaking ripped my heart out in tiny pieces and then it wasn't still satisfied so it stomped at it so many times after that.
This book made me angry for a lot of reasons. As I'm typing this, I'm shaking because I'm still freaking enraged. The people, God. I can't believe this thing is happening right now but I sort of do, too, because that's how messed-up this world is today. People blamed the victim of rape because maybe she liked it, maybe she brought all of this to herself, right? Also. if somebody is well known and popular, he's not freaking capable of assault right? WRONG.
Then, the victim started seeing the world in a wrong new light. She can't even believe she's worthy of being loved. She even hates that she has a body and a functioning heart because what good did it do to her? She feels she's better off dead. And this was what hurt me the most. When you say "No", it's NO. No matter how much you liked that person, when you say stop, they should STOP or else that's freaking rape.
The writing was so powerful, engaging and incredible that I feel like I couldn't go to the next pages fast enough.I wish there was more though. I wish for a lot of things, mainly to know about what happens after everything. But I can't really complain because this novel as it is was more than enough to gut me.
This book was phenomenal. I know I can't give it enough praise that it so hugely deserved through my words but I guess making you guys read this wonderful masterpiece is enough. So bye guys, I'm going to gush about this now on Twitter.
P.S. This was my first read from Courtney Summers and I'm certain it'll not be the last. This author can bring out my freaking emotions and I wonder if her other books was also as good as this one. Pre-order this book now!

You cover her mouth."

I can't wait to hear what you think of this! Courtney Summers is an outstanding contemporary author, and one of my favorites.

Oh, God, I need this book so bad. Courtney Summers is a goddess.
Lovely review, Marga! I wonder what made the book horrible though. Hehe!
@Vane - YEES! @Pearl - Ooops, that came out wrong. The book was powerful and the characters are the horrible ones!
Great review, Marga! I can't wait to read this!
Fabulous Review, Marga! Rape is a difficult topic to write about so I'm glad Summers dealt with it so well.

OMG!! Which haven't you read by her?? I just finished fall for anything and it was epic. But This is not a test and Some Girls are are still my favs....AGH! Gush session!!! XD
Uhmmm actually, this was my first from her LOL. I have Fall for Anything and Cracked Up To Be ready.. which should I start first??
Marga wrote: "Uhmmm actually, this was my first from her LOL. I have Fall for Anything and Cracked Up To Be ready.. which should I start first??"DEFINITELY Fall for Anything. LITERALLY read it in one day yesterday....I love the others above more, but this one took my breath away, as well.
Cracked up to be is good, for sure-but a few things stung me in ways I didn't expect so I didn't even know what to rate it-but I loved it anyway. Just not the same kind of love I had for Fall for anything, some girls are, and this is not a test. But still great.
Oh I also have Some Girls Are! :D Now, I'm really excited to start that one because it's a fave of yours!
Marga wrote: "Oh I also have Some Girls Are! :D Now, I'm really excited to start that one because it's a fave of yours!"OMG YES!!! Please read that one!!!!!!! It's EPIC!
It's like mean girls but...BETTER XD
OKAY I WILL I WILL! :D I will start Some Girls Are after the book I'm reading right now. I have HIGH expectations.

Your first book by Courtney!!! LOL I read this is not a test from her and the sequel and fell completely in love with this author! Fantastic review, btw :)
Beautiful review, Marga ;))!
I am a big fan of Courtney Summers, and really appreciate her for writing about this subject. She's handled tough topics brilliantly in previous books, so I need this in my life and hope many people will read it. Great review, Marga! :)
Thank you, guys!Kathe: I will read them sooooon!
Sarah: I agree! I noticed that her readership wasn't at all huge. But now, I will pretty much gush about her to every living creature I know. :)
Awesome review! I just read this book and I agree with everything you said.
