OK, listen, I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but also, covers usually have some useful information on them that this one was lacking. Since there is only one singular author listed, and no blurb on the back or inside flap, I assumed it was just a memoir by one person, and I was like ........ , especially since some of the stories seem to contradict each other?

anyway when you get to the very last page it explains that this is a collection of stories about rape and rape culture that were submitted anonymously online and all illustrated by Maria Stoian

Which is a great concept but I really feel like whoever designed this book should have maybe made that more clear at some point earlier than the last page. Like, if I was confused by it I think probably some of the teens this is targeted to might find it confusing also.

Anyway, the art is very cartoony and abstract, which only contributed to me thinking that all these stories were meant to be about the same person.

They're important stories and I think this would probably help a lot of survivors feel understood and/or illustrate that rape culture is a real thing. I didn't really... enjoy reading it... per se... but I think its audience will find it valuable.
