 I think this is a really important book which everyone both men and women need to read. It shows the misogynist world which we still live in and the way abusers still continue to get away with the hurt they cause to the victims. The injust world we leave in when the police evidence is hardly ever enough to get a conviction and how wealthy public figures continue to abuse their trust and use money to make the problem disappear. However, it also showcases how trial by social media in the modern age can get out of hand, when rumours with limited credibility can destroy lives such as Lewis ultimately taken his own life. It is a powerful how someone's one lie can cause destruction in both professional and personal life's. I did like Ola and Micheal and they were a good example of how you can think you know someone it can all change in an instant with one piefe ot information and make you doubt everything. I did find it infuriating that Micheal did not come clean in the beginning as the issues which unfolded with the lie were a lot worse and it was such a waste of a good wedding.
