Short Summary-- Mia tries to forget everything that happened to her the night she was raped and beaten. Not only does she struggle to overcome the feelings of guilt, believing it is her fault, but she is faced with the opinions of the people around her, who don't seem to take her situation seriously. Mia must decide between keeping her family's reputation clean, or telling the truth, exposing the man that did this to her.My Review: Brilliantly infuriating! The emotions that Mia goes through to express her horrible situation are moving.Mia is forced to decide to hide away from the truth, or come out and expose the person that raped and beat her, which could potentially threaten her father's career. During this decision, the opinions and judgement of the people around her begin to affect how she starts to see herself. I wanted to throw my kindle across the room every time one of her father's "lackeys" interfered, causing Mia to want to hide in her closet away from the chaos.No one can say how they would react if they were in the shoes of a rape victim, or how they would cope, but this book seems to have nailed just about every emotion that could possibly be felt. Mia's rage, guilt, self-consciousness, panic, and worthlessness start to become your own as you continue to read, and you are left wondering what her decision is going to be.I bought this book for my own enjoyment.
