Trigger warning for sexual assault.

We meet Emma, a popular girl with a big friend group, they are invited to a party and a male friend's house and the story escalates from there. We see Emma's struggles through her case with the four males who are accused of raping her when pictures are posted on Facebook.

At times, this story was so heartbreaking to read. We get to see the Facebook posts, the news stories being written about her story. As well as how the case is still going on a year after it happened. Emma's life isn't the same, but she feels guilty. I really felt for Emma in this story because no one would believe her and they were calling her harsh names. She couldn't even go out in public, she was too afraid. Even turning on the television was too much because her story was everywhere she went.

Family is very prominent in this story and emotional. Emma's whole family (mom, dad and brother) are affected by this and we get to see their relationships as a family go left and right. Emma's father won't even look her in the eye. It's a hostile environment for everyone in the home.

This story is set in Ireland, which is a setting I have not read before. We go into the Irish culture and see how Emma goes to a catholic school and is religious. As well as the language was different from American culture.

I really just wanted more to this story. It fell short for me by not much growth of the story, I think.
I do like this book because of the topics involved. But, it was slow in the beginning and I wasn't feeling the writing style all that much.

Honestly, I'm just glad it exists but I wanted more to the story and to Emma's character. It's just an important read about rape culture in Ireland, but not a favorite book of mine!
