For those of you saying “oh, the author is just stereotyping teenagers” “this isn’t relatable in the slightest” “why couldn’t she just tell someone, she’s selfish. 1/5 star”, you guys are so wrong. I, myself, and multiple other teenagers I’ve talked to had the same type of high school experience. I was lonely, and only had a friend to seem not like a loner to others, but that friend ditched me after a bit, just like Heather. This is the most relatable book I’ve ever read in my life. Also, as someone who has been a victim of SA, it’s really hard to tell an adult. I finally told my parents a few months ago, and my mother didn’t believe me. The reason some people don’t tell their parents is due to that. Lots of adults refuse to believe their “sweet innocent child” could’ve had that happened to them. Same with friends. My old group of friends refused to believe me because the person who SA’d me just “wasn’t like that”. They still hung out with her, and I’ll never forgive them.
