I respect women’s wrongs and rights but apparently only found reading about these ones to be average.

Female professionals and their challenges are well described. We don’t know who is hiding something. Great book, well written!

Eh. Listened on audio book and don’t think I’d have finished it if it wasn’t being read to me. Loved the feminist aspects of the book but overall felt the story was weak. Wasn’t surprised by any of the twist or events.

had a bit of a hard time getting into the book initially as it was hard for me to relate to the characters (upper class female lawyers and mothers who lead very different lifestyles than i do) but enjoyed the book more as it continued. the investigative documents at the end of most chapters really helped to keep my interest at the start, as i wanted to see how it all connected. 

how many women that i know have experienced something similar to the things that happen in this book?

5.0

A delicious women’s tale that is both modern and one of all time. Loved it.

I’m going to guess most of the low reviews came from men. I’ve certainly experienced a lot of the harassment and sexism and outright inhumane behavior toward me for being a woman - in the workplace and on the streets. This is the same story told in a legal firm that practically every woman I know has had some similar and disgusting experience of her own, and that includes the millions of Abigails in the world too. Men and parents, please listen up!

Lastly, we, the more and most vulnerable., should never be discounted or underrated!
