If Sylvia Plath were to write a novel for young adults, "The Taste of Blue Light" would be it.

Louise O'Neill, the author of "Asking for It," has crafted a powerful and thought-provoking story that delves into the aftermath of a sexual assault. The protagonist, Lux, finds herself grappling with a profound sense of confusion and uncertainty as she struggles to piece together the events that led to her hospitalization.

Weeks after blacking out and waking up in the hospital, Lux still has no memory of what happened. She doesn't understand why her days are filled with pain and her nights with terrifying dreams; why her parents won't stop shouting and her friends stop talking when she enters the room. All she knows is that the Lux she once was is gone, and that if she can't uncover the truth, everything she loves will be taken away too.

"The Taste of Blue Light" is a devastating and brilliant novel that stylist. It is truly unforgettable, and it will leave readers pondering the complexities of sexual assault and its impact on individuals and society as a whole.

Louise O'Neill's writing is raw and honest, and she doesn't shy away from the difficult topics that are often overlooked in literature. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of gender, power, and consent, and it will leave a lasting impression on anyone who encounters it.
