The Opposite of Innocent by Sonya Sones
5.0
I am so grateful this book is out there in the world. It is easily consumed, it is fast, and it makes its points crystal clear.
I was the girl in this book. And if I had had this book, I might not have been her for as long as I was. This kind of content is desperately important, and broken down into pieces of poetry like this just makes it all the more accessible.
This is a tough read. Trigger warnings for rape and grooming of an underage girl. But if you can stomach the subject matter, do so. And share it with young people in your life.
