Synopsis

“It wasn't that bad, no one got hurt, we were just drunk, me, Petra, we were all drunk.”

How far can you go with a girl who may have had a little too much to drink? One night at a party, things go wrong.

A novel about partying, drinking and waking up to something that can’t be undone. A story about knowing your limits – and respecting the limits of others.

Reviews

"In a media stream with breaking news on one horrific assault case after another (...), where words like sleep rape, manosphere and victim blaming are flying around, this extremely successful story about a difficult topic is so important for all of us." – (Politiken)
