The DNA of You and Me by Andrea Rothman

2.0

I was a little disappointed by this novel. It glazed over abusive advisor/mentee relationships and the protagonist was more self deprecating than I would like. It's problematic to me as many have mentioned that there is some sex that is not consensual- but rarely do people bring up the strange scenes with her advisor! It's unclear if he is sexually harassing her and he is clearly pushing for more work than is reasonable, painting an unhealthy academic picture. I had high hopes and they were dashed.
