I liked how there were many different perspectives throughout the entire book. I was also shocked by a few things towards the end, I really thought I had it figured out. This was a rough read because of the content - sexual harassment in the workplace. 
I think the writer did an excellent job describing all of the extra challenges women face on a daily basis, not just at work but in regular day to day as well. I really enjoyed the beginning of the chapters were she was explaining how we “think”. 
I also loved the notion of women supporting women. And the deep friendships the 3 women had with each other. It was so nice to read about true friendships and hardships.
