Nineteen-year-old Cora Frost knows all the things you're supposed to do to stay safe.
Carry your keys between your fingers.
Don't go out late at night.
Never take the stairs.
But when she catches the eye of a stalker, she starts to realize that all the tips women are taught to protect themselves are useless when a violent person chooses to be violent. Self-centered, defiant, and stuck in a state of flight and freeze, Cora is an emotional runner who takes off at the first sign of strong feelings. After surviving a robbery and an attempted rape, Cora meets Milo Hannigan, a polite and awkward boy with his sights set on graduating from law school. Opposites attract, and the two start to fall in love while Milo is home for winter break. But as the clock ticks closer to the beginning of a new semester, Cora's stalker still roams free, and she knows that Milo will have to make a decision between staying with her, or going back to school a thousand miles away. When Cora discovers that her stalker's name is Calvin Brandt, she also learns that everyone thinks he's a really nice guy. Police minimize her and are only concerned with what she did to ask for his attention, and Cora reaches her breaking point as Brandt continues to prey on her and hurt the people she loves. Scared of her own feelings and seen as emotional, difficult, and crazy, Cora must try to get justice, while navigating the unfortunate reality that society blames victims rather than holding abusers accountable. Papercut is a romantic suspense novel about victim-blaming, healing from trauma, processing grief, falling in love, and finding your voice.
