Trigger Warning: FMC experienced sexual assault and deals with her emotional journey after the fact.

While the event happens in the past she does have flashbacks and tells someone what happen

Truly a fun book to read. I wasn't a fan of the previous book I read by Stayman-London, but this one was pretty enjoyable. The FMC is mid/plus sized in her mid to late 20s (she's a grad student) who loves a vampire series and the fanfic that comes from it (even her dissertation is about the series). If you were a tween/teen during the height of the Twilight/Vampire Diaries craze this book will hug your little fangirl heart. I cannot stand when authors use sexual assault as plot device (especially when it's meant to progress a male character's arc), so it was a breath of fresh air to read a book about an SA survivor and how she processes what happened to her and

that she was then able to engage in a healthy and enjoyable sexual encounter after the event

. While I wasn't a huge fan of the MMC (he was too cowardly for my liking), I did like aspects of their relationship and the relationship FMC's best friend had with MMC's sister.
