Powerful. I’m far along in my healing journey where I can read this book and not crumble. There were many moments in this book that left me in shock, even after already knowing many of the assaults the women in the book (and in life) faced. I’m heartbroken for the women who feel unsafe walking in this world who fear sharing their truth, and for the women before us who challenged systems to pave the way for us to speak up.

Wasn't sure this would add much since I lived through the publication and saw that movie, but found this very satisfying. Can imagine people decades from now getting a great overview of both the investigation and this culture-shifting moment in history. Lots of characters involved, but never becomes confusing. You can feel the tension and fear. I was surprised to see this end with the Blasey Ford story and that felt rather tangential to the main story, but do ultimately think it added a lot of information and context for her decision and the testimony. What a period to have lived through.

amalerstein's review against another edition
4.0
As someone who was deeply impacted by the Me Too movement (as many women were), I felt a deep connection to this story. I loved that this was a story about women written by women. The unfolding of the story that brought down Harvey Weinstein had me on the edge of my seat, even though I was familiar with the NYT story and how it all unfolded. I loved how they presented the story, and I was glad that we got to hear from so many women who were affected by Weinstein. It was harrowing to hear about how scared all of them were, and I applaud them for their bravery. The sections of the story about Christine Blasey Ford were also interesting, but it didn't have the same impact for me as the part detailing the Weinstein story. It almost felt like they belonged in two different books. Still great and worth the read.
