As per the title, in 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape,' Sohaila Abdulali explores the topic of rape and all that comes with it - the taboo, the guilt, the crime, the anger, the shame, the light after darkness, the survival. For me, this book's power lies in how she talks about it: with transparency, making such a heavy topic turn somewhat light without losing its seriousness.

It's not an easy book to read, as you may have gathered by now, but an incredibly important one! I cried with it, I laughed out loud, I got angry, and I felt proud, thankful, humbled, and empowered by the words of Abdulali. 'What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape' is a must-read.
