Lucky
by Alice Sebold
I enjoyed this book, though perhaps not as much as I would have hoped to. The book started with an incredibly graphic description of her rape that I probably wouldn't have chosen to start reading at the gym if I had known it was coming on the very first page, but after that it got a little easier. I felt for her and was drawn into her story for the entirety of the book. Parts of it did feel a bit educational, like she was explaining some of the basics of rape culture and the system, which was great but also incredibly basic. I one hundred percent support that, but they seemed to be more geared toward people who maybe weren't as knowledgeable on the subject. I feel like this would be a good book for people who are trying to learn and understand more of what it's like for people who are raped.
