I read this book a long time ago and I only remember this: her brother's best friend rapes her on her birthday, so she cuts her hair and changes, dressing only in dark clothes, one day she goes to a party to pick up her brother and sees that the popular boy is being beaten by his father, some time later she enters university, she becomes friends with a gay man and tries to leave her traumas behind, at the same university she meets the popular boy and they fall in love.
Does anyone know what it is?

Hi Kate,

We need a specific time frame (which year, approximately, did you read it?), as well as the genre (sounds like YA (teen) fiction - am I right? Or NA/Adult? Romance?)

Was this a physical book or an e-book?

Could it be The Way I Used to Be?
