3.5

This book was foundational in the Japanese #MeToo movement. Hard to read at times due to the subject matter but really worth it.

I can only imagine the pain and frustration she has experienced.  I was enraged and sad throughout this book with how her case was handled.  I certainly learned a lot about Japan's justice system and how it needs to be improved.  The translation seemed well-done (I only know English).
