Description
This adaptation follows the same plot as the traditional print version, in that the protagonist spends a school year recovering from a rape that took place before the events of the book. The illustrations related to the rape are stylized to portray the disgust and horror the protagonist feels, portraying the rapist as a monster or predator, but there are no nude or sexual depictions.
