This was a solid book that I won't call timely, since rape is something that's been plaguing women since forever. I really appreciated its multifaceted approach to the subject, and it addresses a lot of big issues about privelege: due to wealth, class, and being a cis-gender male. I was expecting something with more of a twist, though, and I think that's why this book made me feel it lacked urgency. Still, it's very well-done and nuanced.

I need an HBO adaptation of this in 2022.
