A new take on the me too movement that I hadn’t expected. The development of a woman caught between her friendship with a man and the accusations against him. 
A good read, I think that I will return to it again.

Si Margot hubiera llegado más lejos con sus reflexiones, probablemente habría entendido que, efectivamente, Quin era una mierda de persona a la que tenía tanto cariño que escondía su basura. Parece que el libro pretende que te pongas de lado de Quin. Creo que, si la resolución hubiera sido distinta, me habría gustado mucho más. Pero el final lo ha estropeado por completo.
