What do women want? To understand why. And so a rape victim confronts her assailants, asking them, pushing them, to explain why they did what they did. It does not go as expected.
A must-read for men and women alike.

(If you’d like the paperback version, best to purchase online–such as at amazon, barnesandnoble, bookdepository, bookshop, etc.–where you can get a deal on the shipping.)
(And please note that you can still leave a rating and/or review on Amazon as long as you’ve purchased at least $50 worth of stuff from Amazon in the past year; just be sure to state that you received the book directly from the author. Ratings and reviews are important because the Amazon algorithm limits search results to exact title/author until a book has 25 ratings/reviews and doesn’t include a book in ‘similar to’ results until it has 50 ratings/reviews. Which means that known books become even more known, and otherwise good books remain unknown. Sigh.) (And/or without any Amazon involvement, you can spread the word by posting on Goodreads, LibraryThing, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms.) (For which I say, ‘Thank you!’) (And please let me know so I can repost your review there!)

“Edgy, insightful, terrific writing, propelled by rage against rape. Tittle writes in a fast-paced, dialogue-driven style that hurtles the reader from one confrontation to the next. Chock full of painful social observations like “What did you think you were ramming your penis into, again and again? Some warm and fuzzy place that totally had nothing to do with me?” Hank Pellissier, Director of Humanist Global Charity 5/5
“A deftly scripted novella by an author with a genuine flair for a riveting narrative style of storytelling that will engage the dedicated attention for women and men from first page to last …” Micah Andrew, Midwest Book Review
“The idea of pinning down the inflictors of this terror is quite appealing …” A. L.
“… The last two chapters were a page turner and, I must admit, I wasn’t expecting the end. But, to be honest, I didn’t even know what to expect. I just read, hoping for the best and expecting anything. … This is not an easy book to read, and there are times when you just have to close the book and breathe. And it is both frightening and disappointing.” Mesca Elin, Psychochromatic Redemption 4/5
“Wow… How am I supposed to review a book that deals with sexual assault in such a powerful way? And can we talk about that ending? … I’m glad I read it, it made me think (and will so for a long time) about woman’s place in society, about how men see us, about what makes someone want to hurt somebody else.” Alexandra, Goodreads 5/5
