I've read The Way I Used To Be by Amber Smith and the book really resonated with me, it was actually the book that made me finally realize and accept that what had happened to me was in fact sexual assualt.
However, the way the MC dealt with the trauma was completely opposite of how I've coped with mine. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the book, I loved it, I just would like to read another book that feels closer to my story. I feel that reading books about people who have gone through what I've been through and get a happy ending makes it seem possible I guess.
The MC in The Eay I Used To Be copes by hooking up with random men, personally my trauma has caused me to be terrified of sex. I would like a book about a character in the same situation to watch how she heals. If there were a romance plot that would be nice since I feel like it would make me feel like it is possible for me to find love eventually despite this. I would also prefer it be set on high school or college but I'll take any recommendations. 🙂
