She idolizes her brother yet resents him for not knowing what happened to her and for not protecting her. This causes a lot of complex emotions within Eden. It would destroy her parents and brother who love him like a brother and son. Who would believe mousy Eden over him? He's a popular, well loved guy. This was Eden’s journey, told in four parts from the time of the rape – when she was a “good girl”, a quiet girl, a geek girl – starting out at high school, through the three years after the rape.Įden is raped by her brother’s best friend, a good friend of the family, in her own home, and doesn’t tell anyone out of fear. Of course, no two assaults are the same and there isn’t only one way to react or recover. It cut so close to home and the experiences of several friends of mine who were sexually assaulted that I had to stop reading several times because it felt so real. Source: Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review Told in four parts-freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year. Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she’s supposed to tell someone what happened but she can’t. What she thought she knew to be true, is now lies. What Eden once loved-who she once loved-she now hates. But the night her brother’s best friend rapes her, Eden’s world capsizes. Starting high school didn’t change who she was.
