I enjoyed this story. I liked getting to know the real Ainsley and Nikki and seeing how their friendship developed.

I was pleasantly surprised with how I came to like both these women and their camaraderie in joining together to fight for the truth to come to light. The trigger warnings are mainly regarding sexual assault and abuse of power, but it is a beautiful story of justice and a dismantling of the system of corruption where many women often suffer the most. It painted a picture of female power and partnership.
