This searing and intimate novel in verse follows a sixteen-year-old girl coping with sexual abuse as she grapples with how to reclaim her story, her anger, and her body in a world that seems determined to punish her for the sin of surviving.

"This is more than a story about sexual violence--this book is about race, sexuality, love, and how anger can be a catalyst for healing."
--Gabrielle Union, bestselling author, actress, and producer

Sixteen-year-old Alicia Rivers has a reputation that precedes her. But there's more to her story than the whispers that follow her throughout the hallways at school--whispers that splinter into a million different insults that really mean: a girl who has had sex. But what her classmates don't know is that Alicia was sexually abused by a popular teacher, and that trauma has rewritten every cell in her body into someone she doesn't recognize. To the world around her, she's been cast, like the mythical Medusa, as not the victim but the monster of her own story: the slut who asked for it.

Alicia was abandoned by her best friend, quit the track team, and now spends her days in detention feeling isolated and invisible. When mysterious letters left in her locker hint at another victim, Alicia struggles to keep up the walls she's built around her trauma. At the same time, her growing attraction to a new girl in school makes her question what those walls are really keeping out.

"[This] fierce and brightly burning feminist roar...paints a devastating and haunting portrait of a vulnerable young woman discovering the power of her voice, her courage, and her rage." --Samira Ahmed, New York Times bestselling author of Internment and Hollow Fires

Lovely Shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: Nude/Nubuck
These were a gift. I understand they are "slightly" wide at the toes but fit otherwise. The color & heel height were exactly as desired. She felt the traction was also very good. I look forward to seeing her wear them to her son's wedding!

Wedding Guest Shoe
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver/Glitter
True to size. Very true 6.5 in most all of my shoes. I thought the fit was great but after wearing for a little bit they are horrible. The glitter goes down a little too far on the back and rubs the heel. The sides of your toes will hurt after a little bit of wearing them. Super cute shoes and I toughed it out because they looked great but definitely not the most comfortable shoes.
