5.0

This is, of course, a great read. The end got a little tedious, as it explained the various ripple effects / fallout of Ronan’s initial report (which is a lot to take in). But the lead-up to the “main event” (the initial New Yorker piece) and the rundown of the article we all saw in print was impeccably well-written. I personally enjoyed Ronan’s references to his personal life as well.

4.5 stars. (bookclub with mom)

*deep breath* don't read this if you're at a low in your life. I'm glad that POS harvey is in jail and I wish some of the others got worse treatment than just getting fired. ronan farrow did a great job with investigations and making sure these women's horrific stories saw the light of day.

I had known just surface information including a few audio recordings that were trending when the #metoo movement started. the lengths that harvey went to cover up the assaults of these women surprised me. he had SO much power and so many women were afraid of him and how that could potentially destroy their career?! I feel like this just scratched the surface of the many predators that continue to abuse their power and my hope is that we find a way to for them to pay for their exploitations while freeing the victims.
