I Stop Somewhere
I literally don't care what you're doing. You need to stop, get this book, and move it to the top of your TBR list.
If you've ever thought to yourself, "I'm sure the justice system will make sure that guy gets what he deserves."
If you've heard, "It's partially her fault because she made bad choices."
If you've ever wondered "What kind of person does that to someone?"
This is a book review, so I'm not going to dive into my own past assault, or go all political on you, or talk about what's wrong with the system. Because we have books that do that for us. That's why we read books like this.

There were some really great quotes in this book... actually, this is the most quotable book I've ever read. The writing was beautiful. Every other sentience I wanted to make it into a graphic. There was so much truth in here that if I were to go through and highlight all the quotes, more than 3/4 of the book would be highlighted. Even the dialogue was poignant.
The characters were specific and lifelike and real, including the main character, who was dead (took me a few chapters to figure it out though. And it was done so much better than The Lovely Bones.)
The audiobook narrator, Laurel Schroeder, was great. There was something about her voice and her reading that was a bit odd, but it suited the book perfectly. It was almost disjointed.
I will be keeping my eyes on T. E. Carter in the future!
Content/recommendation: Some language, and some semi-violent rape scenes. This book is not suitable for younger teens as it does have semi graphic scenes in it.
