This book is the story of a teenage survivor of sexual assault told in verse. Sawyerr's writing is extraordinary. It is painful, hopeful, and honest. There is no shying away from the realities that the story faces, but Sawyerr is successful in making it Amina's story and not that of her abuser. She brings the reader into Amina's emotions and thoughts, the truth of being a survivor. I could see this book being painful for some, and would recommend reviewing the content warnings before reading.
