"They are all innocent until proven guilty. But not me, I am a lair until I am proven honest"

This is a very graphic story of 18 year old Emma. It's explicit, straight to the point and yet it's tackling a lot nuances around the 'she asked for it' culture that face victims of sexual assault.

The author's note at the end of the book should also be read.

This is a five star book for me.

Very, very insightful and enlightening. Addressing ageism, racism, homo/transphobia, and of course sexism powerfully in one fell swoop. It‘s one of those books everyone should read. As enjoyable a book as there can be on such a grim subject.

A lot of good essays in this book. Ones that stood out: performance model of sex, beyond yes or no, when pregnancy is outlawed only outlaws will be pregnant, how do you fuck a fat woman, the fantasy of female non consent: why the female submissive scares us and why she shouldn‘t, reclaiming touch, an immodest proposal, why nice guys finish last.

I went for a walk on Xmas morn, probably for the first time ever. I was so organised. I ate beautiful food all day eg. a baked brie, lobster and scallop pots, mini meatloaf and pavlova but I didn‘t make anything from scratch which is very unusual for me. It was a very relaxed day. After I scored these books from the Little Free Library, I spent a couple of hours on the beach sussing them out which is something I love to do with new to me books.

AmyG That sounds lovely. 2y
