Meticulous journalism. Admirable and informative, but not fun to read.

I did think it was well-done. It was really about the movement as a whole, which I liked. It was heavy, as expected. The rest of my thoughts are too scattered because it took me a while to get through.

DNF — I feel like this book could have be cut in half. Lots of interesting stuff but I just got exhausted by it and had to stop after a while. A lot of belabored points. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Powerful and gripping. The book was a quicker read than expected and unfolds much like a thriller. While this and [b:Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators|51112101|Catch and Kill Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators|Ronan Farrow|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1571188314l/51112101._SX50_SY75_.jpg|72177046] cover much of the same subject matter, the latter focuses on Farrow's investigative journalism while this spotlights the many victims and their horrific experiences. At first I thought the shift to Blasey Ford during the final few chapters was an odd choice since she is tangentially related to the reporters' work, but ultimately found it to be a worthy inclusion since her courageous testimony is directly linked to the movement that Kantor and Twohey sparked.

I do think it's worth reading. That said, it's oddly structured, the authors' insights are scant, and it's overall more dry than I think serves the material/would like.
