While 9.0 isn't a bad score, it deserves higher. The exploration of trauma in this story is so well-conveyed. As someone who has been SA'd, I related so much to the thought process--blaming yourself, questioning yourself, trying to find meaning in it, to run from it, to accept it while fighting against it. The path to recovery isn't linear, and I think for some that may make this read frustrating. But to me, it feels honest, poignant, and at the end of it all, hopeful.
