*I received a copy of this book courtesy of Indie Inked, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review*3 starsMia has it all from the outsiders perspective, a politicians daughter who possesses money and more comforts than she needs. The only thing missing is the one felt the biggest, her parents attention and affection. One night at a party her world comes crashing down around her courtesy of two men who she thought she could trust. When a guardian angel in a police uniform and her best friend turn out to be the only people there for her and not putting her father's political gains before her well being, she's forced to take a look at her life and make choices her world never prepared her for. At least according to her father's political rants, a woman who is raped can't get pregnant right?This book is the first of a 6 novella series. I'm not a fan of novellas, I feel like they stop right when they're getting good and this one followed the formula, which is the main reason for the lower rating. However, it's a very promising start and made me want to read more. The writing conveys the emotions properly through a difficult subject and is easy to follow. In this one it was actually a benefit that Mia came across immature, because it was very true to her age and circumstance. There were no questions that you were reading about a wealthy junior in high school going through this unexpected trauma. I also have to say I'm so glad nothing turned romantic at this point between her and Dom, that was a big concern of mine going into this and would have completely changed my feelings towards the book. The world building and side characters help to bring everything together into a realistic story of how one night can change your life.
