The storytelling device used by the author to bring attention to the ever present news stories of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and violence against women was equal parts brilliant and heart wrenching.
If you're looking for a mystery/thriller/true crime book that is straightforward and wraps things up in a neat bow, this is not the book for you.
The audio is fantastic, narrated by Julia Whelan with a small cameo by JD Jackson.
There is a lot of potentially triggering content in this book. Be mindful and maybe check The StoryGraph before diving in.

I know it's not perfect—some characters are thinly fleshed out, it critiques true crime as a genre without ever truly being able to escape it—but it had me hooked and it had me ponder and, for me, that's enough.
(I also found it cathartic reading about a private school and realising what bizarre, intense, and intoxicating places they can be.)
