I love so many things about this book. Obviously the situation on which the plot runs is deplorable and it hurts me that rape is such a common occurrence in the real world. But the fallout from it all takes a very positive approach and basically creates a best case scenario. 
 Hermione Winters' family and friends are so damn supportive and I only wish that everyone could have this much support in their life. Her best friend, Polly, is who I wish I was more like in high school. She doesn't give a single fuck what people think and will challenge anyone who makes a wrong move against those she cares about. 
 This book is about love and choice and living after a terrible thing, and not letting it be what defines you. While sometimes a little unrealistic, it really is doing its best to have a positive outlook.
