It was fine. Not really anything I couldn’t intuit on my own (hehe). If anything, my takeaway is to be more fervent in saying no. The podcast My Favorite Murder has the same message. I couldn’t get over the quality of the audiobook. Yikes, sounds like the guy did it on a recorder from 1915, then struck random elevator music in. Anyway, worth the three hours but not much more.

A must-read in my opinion. NB the section on domestic violence is rather victim-blaming, but aside from that it's really an excellent book.

Interesting. I felt it is so sad to have this kind of book needed.
