The support she gave was so lovely, and I like the fact she took no bull shit either, when she KNEW something was wrong she wouldn’t sit there and let her best friend take it all on her own. She calls out bull shit, and tries to keep her head held high.Ījita is the best friend anyone could wish for! Her support for Izzy is incredible! For me Ajita played a big part in this book for me, while she was struggling with some of her own life she was still there for Izzy. We see Izzy at her highs and her lows, and I loved how strong she was, even if she wasn’t actually feeling that. The closeness between the two was so well-done, it reminded me what me and my nana are like and it was nice to see. She’s so quick witted and her love for her grandma is so beautiful. Izzy is the main character, I loved her sarcasm, sass and how she handled EVERYTHING. We see one person have her life go to shit, while another person involved gets accepted and as though nothing ever happened. In regards to this, we also see a sense of victim blaming and that is completely unacceptable. The idea of revenge porn is such a sad thing to hear, because at the end of the day that is someones life you’re ruining… not your own. The idea that if a male does something sexual they don’t receive any form of backlash and are often praised for it, whereas if a girl was to do something she would be slut shamed and everyone would turn against her is so true! It’s not fair that things can be so biased towards someone, it is their body and then can do what they choose to do and should not be judged because of how many sexual partners they’ve had. We have: Slut Shaming, White Privilege, Feminism, Coming to terms with sexuality that a religion doesn’t agree with, the apparent “friend zone”, Revenge Porn and so much more. It has so many topics that can start a conversation, all of the topics are problems that people may face in day to day life, and they are handled amazingly. Where to even begin with this book?! This is one of those where I would honestly want anyone and everyone to read it. It strips you of everything you thought you knew about yourself, forces you to examine the very core of your being." It’s a peculiar beast, especially when it happens in public. Thank you so much netgalley for providing me with a free copy for an honest review.
