She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement by Jodi Kantor, Megan Twohey
challenging

5.0
A lot of people think that the Kavanaugh part at the end subtracts from the point of the book being the Weinstein story, but I loved the lens that the authors used so much to detail these stories that I was glad to read Ford’s story in their words as much as any other part of this book. I was going to watch the movie but I heard it’s strange compared to the book (and I’m not really interested in watching depictions of sexual assault that the movie may or may not have) and honestly I got all I needed out of the book. Books by journalists about how they broke their stories may be my favorite subgenre of nonfiction.
