A startling act of sexual violence and its far-reaching ramifications ground the story of Sandy's descent into self-doubt and alcohol abuse. While overwrought Shakespeare references and Sandy's rapid unmooring undermine the story, a surprising revelation reframes the book in ways both captivating and unique. Moving beyond sex to address relationships, homophobia, and gender identity, Gray poses important questions.
