I am so devastated by this book, and yet I'm also left feeling hopeful at the same time. I think I'll be thinking about this book for a long time. I'm still shocked this is a debut novel because of how good it is.

Early on in this book, you can tell that Jo has been let down by so many people in her life. By those that should have known better and those that were also just kids. But out of all the people I'm disappointed in, it's Jo's parents. My jaw dropped at a certain scene (though they disappointed me more than once in the book), and yours will too. I'm so glad that Jo ended up having friends and a trusted adult in her court by the end.

Now, for the way this book shows how victims of revenge porn (whether that's known or not) are treated. Unfortunately, it's more honest that we'd like to admit. Rarely are the victims actually treated like victims. Instead, they're often blamed and ostracized. And then, if they start to spiral or flail, they still receive no help. Again blamed and considered to be at fault for the consequences of "their own actions."

This was a difficult read because of the subject, but also just a really well written thriller that can help shed light on how society often treats those who need our support the most. This is a YA/NA mystery, but really it's a book even adults should read.
