30 milligrammi di Ulipristal
Sofia wakes up with the feeling that something terrible happened the night before. However, she does not remember what. If at first she does not heed that foreboding, over time she gains awareness and the pieces of the event come together revealing to her the truth: she has been sexually assaulted and the perpetrators are her three friends. The text is set the day after and six months after the rape and tells of the journey Sofia takes to confront her fears, guilt, and the idea of reporting it. The narrative comes to life through the online sites and apps that Sofia uses on her cell phone.
