Sinossi
In una cittadina di provincia dove tutti si conoscono, Emma O'Donovan è diversa. Lei è speciale: diciotto anni, bellissima, popolare, potente. È sempre perfetta e ama essere desiderata. Tutte le ragazze vorrebbero essere sue amiche, e tutti i ragazzi vorrebbero uscire con lei. Fino a quella notte. A quella festa d'estate, Emma era troppo ubriaca per rendersi conto di cosa stava accadendo, troppo ubriaca per dire basta, troppo ubriaca per ricordare. Ma quelle immagini, quelle fotografie che tutti hanno visto online, significano che non potrà mai dimenticare. E dopo la violenza comincia un nuovo incubo: Emma era speciale, ma ora è solo una fonte di imbarazzo. È sulla bocca di tutti, assurdamente additata e accusata. Davvero se l'è cercata? Davvero è sua la colpa? Senza punti di riferimento, Emma comincia a dubitare persino di se stessa.

Recensioni
“My body is not my own any more. They have stamped their names all over it.” Everybody must read this. It should be read in school, uni, book clubs. By parents and by teenagers. By you! This is a highly underrated novel and needs way more attention. This was incredible. I can't say I enjoyed reading i Leggi tutto
I reviewed Louise O'Neill's Only Ever Yours in August and put Asking For It straight on the top of my TBR. I knew it was going to be difficult, powerful and much-needed even before I started. It's the perfect choice for my book club because we're all sure to have a lot to say. Asking For It is ab
Where to start… Asking For It will hit you hard in emotional places you didn’t even know you had. Louise O’Neill has some stark truths to put in front of us and boy does she do that without giving you ANY room to wriggle away or hide from them. This book SHOULD, assuming you are a human being, make y Leggi tutto
this was H E A V Y. also, note - im rating this for the book itself (i did not like the writing style, the abundance of characters and lack of evident transitions made it difficult to follow the story, i found the main character difficult to empathise with, etc.). if i was rating this based on the m Leggi tutto
With great hype come great expectations. It's fairly tough to try to ignore this book, especially in Ireland. It's being lauded as one of the greatest Irish novels in recent memory and all I will say to that is, "hmm". While the message of this novel is very important I cannot say that the hype is d Leggi tutto
Reviewing this book today is not any easier that it was days ago, when I finished reading it. But I know most of you must've heard what just happened to Kesha, who is being forced to work with the man who abused her physically and mentally. And even though I'm not a fan of her music, it doesn't matt Leggi tutto
I am definitely one of the minority here.... This book was so badly written??? I really don't see the hype at all. I was excited to read this as it addresses rape culture and apparently has HIGH reviews here on goodreads but I was let down tremendously. First of all, there were too many characters t Leggi tutto
I recommend this book to everyone because I believe everyone should read this book if they feel comfortable (trigger Warning, sexual assault, depression). We need to step-up as a community, sexual assault is not okay and never has been okay. Bullying is not okay and has never been okay. This book is e Leggi tutto
