Longlisted for the 2025 Carnegie Medal, this unflinching LGBTQIA+ verse novel explores a teenage boy who is sexually assaulted in an attack he struggles to remember.

Jay wakes in a park, beaten and bruised. He can’t remember what happened the night before. But he has suspicions. Jay realises he has been raped — and that his ex-boyfriend may have been involved. Counselling sessions cause Jay to question everything. His new friend Rain encourages his pursuit of justice. Jay wants answers, but his search will lead him down a perilous path.

Once the trigger is touched you can't tell who to trust.

"So emotional and immersive" Alice Oseman, author of Heartstopper (for Gut Feelings by C.G. Moore)
