I listened to this on audio and I thought it was fairly good. It was incredibly informative on a case I knew nothing about. I enjoyed getting to know the victim and the perpetrator and what led all of these circumstances. This story is important for everyone to read because of the real lessons it teaches-- no one should be harmed for who they are, and one dumb, mindless decision can severely impact the lives of many people. There were some disconnects for me: 1) The author didn't focus a ton on the main people involved (Sasha  + Richard), and rather focused a lot on people connected to Sasha and Richard in other ways, and it made the timeline and story confusing. 2) This book reads like a bunch of newspaper articles strung together... which is... blah. While it wasn't the most enjoyable read, it was super informative and I do recommend it those who haven't heard of Sasha's story.

I don't recommend this book as a first or only source of information on the topic, because you can tell that the person who wrote it isn't directly effected by the things they're writing about e.g misgendering, using deadnames and using words and discriptions which aren't fitting or even hurtful
