Holy crap. This is going to be incoherent. My stomach hurts and my head feels like a shaken-up snow globe. I read this for research purposes, but man, what an eye-opener. What an important book. Incredible, harrowing, horrifying stories of courage and recovery and resiliency. Insights into male gender norms and issues of masculinity that you'd never think of. Wow. Just...wow.

Read for my bachelor thesis. Great introduction to the topic of male on male sexual violence, sometimes uneasy to read due to gruesome details - but an important work nonetheless.
