DNF @ 101 pages. 
 I can't do it which really disappoints me because stories about sexual assault are so important. 
 I liked the idea of the story: a rape in freshman year, and the story unfolding each year after that through high school. It's unique, and it sounded so promising. This was a highly anticipated read for me this year. Unfortunately, I'm glad I read a few choice reviews ahead of time and did not purchase a copy of this in advance. 
 My main problem is that I couldn't connect to Eden at all. I know this takes place when she's 14 or 15 in the beginning, but she just seemed exceptionally immature to me. Maybe I'm at that age when my protagonists need to be on the other end of high school. I'm not going to factor in her emotional reaction because any type of reaction in the face of this type of trauma is warranted. Victims needs to heal however they can (without causing themselves harm). But it was really hard for me to get past her childishness, and I don't want to feel that way against someone I'm supposed to sympathize with (and I do about the rape. I really do.). As a result, I couldn't connect with the story or any of the other characters. I wanted to engage with this so much. 
 The writing and characterizations aren't great. Again, maybe I'm just at the age where immature protagonists rub me the wrong way. Literally everyone annoyed me. Except Kevin. I hate Kevin for reasons. Everyone seemed to be more elementary school or middle school than high school, and I didn't feel a connection to any of the characters by the time I was about a third of the way done. 
 I'd rather save my reading energy for sexual assault books that keep my feelings on the surface. I want to be pissed and sad when I put the book down. I want to feel ready to take rape culture head on. I want to take that book and pass it around to people who don't get it, and say, "THIS. THIS is what I'm trying to tell you." 
 Unfortunately, this one isn't that for me.
