I (16f) have been coping with events of sexual assault by someone I trusted dearly. Its been hard to deal with and I’ve always found comfort in literature. I was wondering if anyone had any good fiction books
surrounding the topic. Please note I am looking for something focused around coping, not any sort of rape fantasy book please, that is the last thing I need. I am also looking for a fiction story with characters dealing with the situation, not any kind of nonfiction guide to healing or something like that. I saw a quote earlier that read “And life went on. It was not the same. But it went on.” And it is what lead me to looking for a book, so maybe something that touches on the same emotions as that?

Hi, first want to say that I am sorry you’re experiencing this. I can assure you as a fellow survivor though that the quote is right, and things do get better even if they aren’t quite the same. I really liked the Beartown series by Fredrik Backman, that sounds like it might be what you’re looking for. Every Bone a Prayer by Ashley Blooms might also be a good one, though I found it much more triggering so heads up on that
