I love the topic this book discusses. I really respect how it doesn’t shy away from the disturbing descriptions, but doesn’t dwell on them for fun and entertainment. Just enough to make an uncomfortable subject feel as uncomfortable and painful as it actually is.

Okay, so to start I wanna say I really enjoyed the format of this book and thought it was super interesting. It was paced well in that aspect, and the actions/reactions to the crimes of this book are horrifying. That said, some of the language and poetry aspect really took me out of this, especially when all the mens’ POVs would follow the same style and have no distinguishing character to them. Plus the celebrity tweet portion was ridiculous. Decent quick read, but I don’t think it resonated or made the point it was looking to make.

i am utterly incapable of articulating just how powerful this book is, but it is both a work of art and a work of serious societal importance. 

it is also extremely triggering, so please, for your own sake, check your warnings and do not go into this blind.

This is a heavy, complex book. What I really appreciate is the diversity of the chapters, how it’s a series of tweets, headlines, DMs, dialogue, transcripts, the list goes on. 
Again, VERY heavy and upsetting. But an interesting concept.

This is an amazing flipped script. And I'm sure that all those reading it get that. The audience that needs to get this isn't the one reading it.
