About this listen

A young woman must confront her abuser in this gripping debut novel sure to captivate fans of Sweetbitter and My Year of Rest and Relaxation.

One night in college changed the course of Avery's entire life. Her rapist took everything from her including the trust of her friends and long-term boyfriend, who were convinced she cheated. A year later, she still can't bear to tell the truth of what happened and risk her friendship with Morgan, the only friend she has left. Instead, Avery finds her way under a man or into a bottle nearly every day just to convince herself that she has power over her feelings and her autonomy. That is, until she meets Pete, a man so kind and good that he awakens something in Avery that makes her want to try. But somehow Avery's rapist has resurfaced in her life as the best man in Morgan's wedding. And as maid of honor, there's no way Avery can avoid him. The mere sight, smell, and sounds of this man grate at Avery's emotional state, and she begins to drive away the final few who care about her including Pete. As the wedding nears, Avery must decide whether to finally let her walls down and tell her truth or risk spiraling toward a darkness she may never be able to recover from.
