5 STARS AND NOTHING LESS FOR THIS BOOK.
I can’t even begin to explain the love I have for Bright Young Women. The stories of these women were so beautifully and gracefully told, as was the story of the disgraceful culture around all women, around rape culture, around anyone who dares defy the world order of cruel men. It was soul crushing, stomach churning, heart squeezing, and I couldn’t put it down. What a powerful, moving story. I want to read it over again just because of how beautifully and intentionally it was all written.
