I cried many times. A really powerful and jarring story. It packs emotional punches but differently than the first book.
This one felt contrived and preachy. The shock and heartstrings are more of a response to the real world knowledge these terrible things are actually happening to women all over the world, not because of their presence in the story or their narrative role.
The first book was so incredible and should be required reading for high school and parents but this one feels like a forced effort to bring activism. Like using graphic images on a billboard.
