This was an extremely powerful read that covers a range of very important topics. It so articulates the problem facing women in such a white male driven justice system. 

I would definitely recommend reading, although note that it does include sexual assault/rape triggers.

(I listened to the audiobook, read by Jodie Comer). This book was incredible. I unfortunately couldn't see the stage performance, but feel that's this audiobook still captivated me. Very very strong trigger warnings for readers affected by sexual assault. Even without personal trauma, I found this book quite harrowing and it had me silently crying at points.

I’ll probably never see Jodie Comer perform this on a stage, so the audiobook version is the next best option.  This story is not for the feint of heart, much like the topic itself is only for the strong and the brave.
