Really enjoyed this. Dark topics, but Leah does a great job of framing things in a way that feels like being in an intro college class. It’s very informative. I think some people will be turned off by pop culture references or the fact that the SC just sucks, but I found the book educational and engaging.

i was really interested in this book but the, no exaggeration, CONSTANT references to BARBIE (2023) is deeply off-putting. i'm 37 and i feel like i'm being lectured by a very intelligent and capable woman who is just desperate for teenage girls and women in their early 20s to like her and think she's cool. it's such an odd choice for the tone, considering the subject matter.

This was incredibly depressing but fascinating to hear how we got to this dark dark place. The author did a great job simplifying complicated legal concepts and adding fun modern references and analogies. I only wish there had been more concrete ideas for how to change things besides, basically, to vote (which I already do in literally every election, no matter how minor).
