Description
The protagonist was sexually assaulted before the events of the book, and this is referenced frequently throughout. The trauma from that incident caused her mother to remove her from school. The assault was also a catalyst for the supernatural transformation the protagonist undergoes over the course of the plot.
The protagonist’s internal monologue refers to herself as “jailbait since puberty.”
The protagonist’s rapist appears towards the end of the book, working for the main antagonist.
