Brilliant! Very well researched and written. The facts are astounding…I had no idea of the number of women involved in the Weinstein case!

very informative, and I didn't realize the second half of the book would pivot from Weinstein to Kavanaugh, but if you kept up with the news during those periods of time then this won't necessarily inform you much further

"It wasn't new to say that Hollywood took advantage of women, forced them into conformity, and dumped them when they aged or rebelled."

She Said unveils the dark side of Hollywood & how the powerful try to silence the victims.

From receptionists, executives, & famous actresses - they had been sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein, a mighty Hollywood executive.

What I love the most about the journalists is their principles of ethical journalism. They both keep pursuing the perpetrator without revealing their sources, they keep receipts and believe in professionalism.

Both deserved the Pulitzer Prize they received in 2018.

Sometimes it was difficult to follow all the people and was a bit confused why the Kavanaugh part was included. In totally, the authors did a great job of unfolding the story and explaining how all the steps were linked and connected to the final story. 

My reception was a bit biased, as I had already seen the movie (which is a very stellar adaption). Def a must read or see story.

Interesting story being told, liked getting the backstory to something that was so prominent in media and culture.

This was very powerful and an incredible audiobook. I'll admit that I struggled a bit with the latter sections on Christine Ford because I felt as if she was pressured into testifying and I'm not sure women should be pressured like that but ultimately, the book was fascinating, well written and well narrated.
