This was a hard book to read, and a hard subject matter to tackle. The book focused on online accusations and the fallout that ensues - harassment, lack of trust, and ruined lives. This book tried to come at this topic from many perspectives - what happens if you’re named as an abuser online? What is that fallout like? Something just fell flat for me in this book though. It was a slog to get through.  Was it the subject? Maybe. Was it something else? Maybe. Perhaps I couldn’t relate to Ola so resolutely standing by Michael even before he was put on “the list.”
