52 Likes starts with a horrifying moment that no girl or woman ever wants to go through (should never have to) and yet they do. The rape scene is haunting, horrible, and reads so real. I feel for Valerie. I feel her grief and pain. Her rapist wore a mask, his voice gruff, his cologne familiar but she didn't recognize him. This man who took a piece of her and changed her life forever.

Valerie's not looking forward to going back to school after spring break, afraid her friends would've figure out her secret. And after something foolish she did the previous year, she's worried more than ever that she'll be bullied and called a slut who asked for it.

When Valerie starts to get odd pictures through social media, each with 52 likes, a mystery unfolds that's connected to her and the rape. This story had me on the edge of my seat with a broken heart. I was rooting for Valerie from beginning to end. I wanted her rapist to pay!

5 stars! Recommended to anyone who doesn't mind rape scenes.
