A raw, mesmerizing, and healing novel about the power of finding your voice and sharing your story after trauma.
“Lyrical prose combines with a searing indictment of how society treats young women.”—Kirkus Reviews
“A powerful story of childhood trauma and what it means to confront sexual assault.”—School Library Journal

Virginia makes bad choices. In fact, she’s That Kind of Girl, according to the whispers. But as long as she has her tight group of best friends by her side, she’s able to ignore the gossipers. Until she finds herself spending time with Rumi, Poppy’s boyfriend. Breaking with tradition, she doesn’t hook up with Rumi. Worse, she falls in love with him.
While Virginia and Rumi’s relationship grows in secret, she discovers that his younger sister, Lyra, is being groomed for abuse. The soon-to-be abuser is a respected member of the community, but Virginia knows who he really is and what he does. If she stays quiet, Lyra will become a victim. But coming forward feels equally impossible.
