What We Never Say (Bold Journeys Book 2) by Paulette Stout – Review by Trisha Cargile

What We Never Say: Empowering Contemporary Women’s Fiction by Paulette Stout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Reading the trigger warning on What We Never Say is a must, as it heavily speaks about sexual abuse of the male main character. It sheds light on some of the feelings both the victim as well as others who know about the assault. This type of book is definitely needed in the world as some if its topics are viewed as ‘taboo’ and many public settings (including book writing) shy away from hitting the problem head on. I loved that Paulette Stout including the relationship aspect with the abused moving on from the traumatic event with a new love. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but the beginning was one of the hardest parts to read. It is certainly an attention grabber and will suck you into the story.
