Brilliant female law student gets likened to a hot cheerleader. Male students and professor can only focus on her legs, know she has a hot body under her baggy sweater, and hope she'll wear a leather miniskirt one day.

"The women arrived at law school liberated and loose." Disgusting.

If you think women are people, this is probably not the book for you.

This book reminded me what it feels like to not want to put a book down. A perfect fast-paced mystery for those who can’t handle too much gore. I dock points for the often uncomfortable way the women are written.

☀️4/20
