À propos de cet audio

 New York Times bestseller! In the tradition of Speak, Amber Smith's extraordinary debut novel “is a heart-twisting, but ultimately hopeful, exploration of how pain can lead to strength” (The Boston Globe).

Eden was always good at being good. Starting high school didn’t change who she was. But the night her brother’s best friend rapes her, Eden’s world capsizes.

What was once simple, is now complex. What Eden once loved—who she once loved—she now hates. What she thought she knew to be true, is now lies. Nothing makes sense anymore, and she knows she’s supposed to tell someone what happened but she can’t. So she buries it instead. And she buries the way she used to be.

Told in four parts—freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year—this provocative debut reveals the deep cuts of trauma. But it also demonstrates one young woman’s strength as she navigates the disappointment and unbearable pains of adolescence, of first love and first heartbreak, of friendships broken and rebuilt, all while learning to embrace the power of survival she never knew she had hidden within her heart.

Some parts were triggering but after I forced myself to keep listening it was worth it. The story is relatable and shares the message that it’s ok not to tell right away. And there’s always someone who’ll believe you. Your reaction to trauma is valid and does need to be explained. I highly recommend this book to sexual trauma survivors who are looking to push out of their comfort zone. Walking through Edens story and listening to her thoughts and feeling her overcome and transform from silent victim to survivor is truly moving.

Trigger warning*

I really liked the book, I can relate to the character so it gave me chills... hard to read, but maybe if more people read books like this one, sexual assaults would be more understood.

The ending gave me goosebumps
