Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston

5.0

unless i think about it, or someone reminds me, i have trouble remembering that i'm a victim at all.

this book had some flaws, but after reading the author's note, i'm giving it five stars. this book was a pretty accurate portrayal of how rape victims deal with the aftermath of their attacks, and while i had to suspend my disbelief about the whole thing of the police being good guys in this narrative, it was still a good story. and in the author's note, johnston said that she knows police tend to deal with this sort of thing poorly, if it's even taken to them. so i'm choosing to interpret this story as more of a fairytale than an accurate picture of real life.

tw: rape (off-page).
