โฆ Synopsis
Lex was taken โ trafficked - and now sheโs Poppy. Kept in a hotel with other girls, her old life is a distant memory. But when the girls are rescued, she doesnโt quite know how to be Lex again.
After she moves in with her aunt and uncle, for the first time in a long time, she knows what it is to feel truly safe. Except, she doesnโt trust it. Doesn't trust her new home. Doesnโt trust her new friend. Doesnโt trust her new life. Instead she trusts what she shouldnโt because that's what feels right. She doesnโt deserve good things.
But when she is sexually assaulted by her so-called boyfriend and his friends, Lex is forced to reckon with what happened to her and that just because she is used to it, doesnโt mean it is okay. Sheโs thrust into the limelight and realizes she has the power to help others. But first sheโll have to confront the monsters of her past with the help of her family, friends, and a new love.
Kate McLaughlinโs What Unbreakable Looks Like is a gritty, ultimately hopeful novel about human trafficking through the lens of a girl who has escaped the life and learned to trust, not only others, but in herself.
