Esta compilación de relatos sobre acoso y violencia sexual resulta muy oportuna en nuestros días, cuando este tema ha encontrado un importante canal para su denuncia en las redes sociales, ya que éstas se han convertido en un espacio de desahogo para muchas víctimas. Las historias contenidas en este libro fueron enviadas en forma anónima y recopiladas en línea, algunas a través de entrevistas. Maria Stoian le da voz a las víctimas de estas agresiones en este volumen ilustrado: "Resulta descorazonador que historias semejantes sean tan comunes, pero a la vez invita a abrigar esperanzas de que, al compartirlas, ayudemos a las víctimas a superar lo sucedido y a crear una sociedad que no tolere la violencia sexual". </div>
