I will never stop talking about this book

This is a book every women needs to read. It felt so real and I know so many people will relate to it. It is emotional and deep and it had me gripped from the beginning. I will never stop telling people to read this book.



Im in love with Josh, completely understand Eden wasn't ready to be with him but how she trust him with what happened AHHH, great book, and amazing insight on how a victim can be affected.


It was so amazing. I. Loved. It.


I will forever recommend people to read this book! It was heartbreaking and gut wrenching to hear about how it changed her so fast and how NO ONE seemed to notice!!!


I agree, you can see how Eden managed to come to all the conclusions she did. Bless her. What a great novel

This is honestly the best book i have ever read - will never stop recomending it aswell.


Such an underrated book! I feel like it would thrive on booktok if it got the right attention


this book made me SOB!!! is one of my favorite books i've read this year :)


This book has such an amazing story. Eden is such a strong person to go trough al that. I am defenetly team Josh. The ending is so strong and I directly wanted to read the second book. I read both the books in about 2 weeks and it is defenetly a reccomedation!


Saddest book I ever read. Six stars


This book perfectly captured how hurt can be a long-term affect. The book also captured the surrounding family and friends, and how they were affected which I think is very important. I haven't read the sequel yet, but I hope Eden and Josh are together and work things out because there perfect for each other. Everyone needs to read this book 10/10


very underrated book, it was so sad and so eye opening in so many ways and is definitely a must-read!!


this wasnt just another normal ead i think this book plays a big emotional part it makes you think it makes you feel it makes you cry eventhought its not amazing but ig we should read a book smilar to this once in a while


I see I am the only person who did not care much for this book.. I LOVED the premise and what it stands for, but it just frustrated me at some points, mainly because it is more YA than for my taste. That is most likely why I did not care for it as much; do not get me wrong, I am all for advocating for situations like these (not sure if I can allude to it or say the situation on GoodReads) because I am also a survivor, but it lacked in the sense of relatability and reality of the situation (to me). I got the second book and started to read it then found myself bored, and I really wish I didn't, but at the end of the day it all comes down to preference.
