incredible writing but please be advised of the content warnings because it is a very dark read. i didn't know about the CSU football scandal, granted I was 11 when it happened, but reading this made me so sad and angry, especially since this is still happening, even at CSU. did enjoy the easter eggs about colorado #AllHailBlucifer

This reads more like a memoir than true crime coverage.  It is a real middle of the road book for me.  I was very interested in the subject and wanted to learn more about the case, but I think I’d have learned more about it if I’d done my own research (which I will now do).

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

3.5

i really enjoyed the parts of this book that focused on the case but found myself drifting (and strangely a little uncomfortable?) during the parts about the author, especially the parts about her marriage and martial arts. i found it really intriguing in terms of the way football culture can sponsor a crime culture that varies by position.

also, the case being denied and then back on was a little confusing to me.

but overall a pretty good book, just a bit slow at times.

The timelines felt a little disjointed which took away from the way the different story lines and her processing moved together. I also wish there was a little more background on Title IX, though I appreciate that the author included a reflection on the current state of it (Betsy Devos, etc.) in the epilogue. I think this is a really unique story of sexual violence survival as Erika processes her trauma through this case, and much of it was very moving as I was also able to see myself in some of her reflections. I just wish the execution was more well-rounded overall.
