Overall, I enjoyed this book (as much as one can enjoy a book about women being victimized) and found it simultaneously empowering and unsettling. Please be aware of the content warnings before going into this book. It’s definitely not a light read!

I did think the character voices were a little strange. Mostly Pamela seems very autism coded. Which is not a bad thing, but it made her actions a little less relatable. Again not a bad thing, but I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I could relate to the main character’s actions more.

I can’t even begin to explain the love I have for Bright Young Women. The stories of these women were so beautifully and gracefully told, as was the story of the disgraceful culture around all women, around rape culture, around anyone who dares defy the world order of cruel men. It was soul crushing, stomach churning, heart squeezing, and I couldn’t put it down. What a powerful, moving story. I want to read it over again just because of how beautifully and intentionally it was all written.
