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?

Extremely well written. To the point that it was difficult to read because it hits close to home.

I really liked this book. Took place in a law firm and was written by a woman lawyer with experiences similar to the ones depicted in the book, so it was super authentic and true to the current issues surrounding reporting sexual assault and power differences. Kinda hurt how true it was, and how we saw this verbatim in the #metoo movement. A little slower paced than most thrillers, but a great read. It really picks up a little over halfway.

So yes the individual cast of characters is pretty much antithetical to everything I am as a person. High powered capitalist corporate career-above-all drone woman I will never be. But the collective voice also spoke to me? And the plot was interesting and touched on themes that hit home? A little white feminism-y at times, but overall, I liked it.
