The actress stars in Netflix’s film adaptation of Jessica Knoll’s 2015 bestselling novel of the same name. It follows a young woman, Ani, making the decision to publicly speak out about being sexually assaulted as a teen.
Her essay gets national attention when it makes it into the pages of The New York Times and upends her life for the better.

When asked by People about the possibility of a follow-up to the film, Kunis was enthusiastic.
“Oh my God, I hope my character is happier! Yeah, of course [I would]. I love Jess,” she answered.
Knoll previously revealed she was partially based Ani’s story on her own trauma, having been sexually assaulted at 15. Reader comments in the ending of the film are actual messages she received when she came forward with her own story. The author makes a small cameo in the film as one of the narrators in that scene.
As for what a sequel might entail, the writer said she would love to focus more on Ani’s best friend, Nell, played by Justine Lupe.
“Sometimes I think about writing Nell’s story. Like, where is Nell these days? So maybe,” said Knoll.
