A must read. Christina Dalcher shows the importance of always standing up and speaking out. How quickly things can take a turn for the worse and the power of women. Such a well written and page turning novel.

Should be a compulsory read at school mainly in the US but in every part of the world too....
Too many feels crossing my mind after this read but mainly anger and sparks to fight for the rights of everyone and for the end of toxic masculinity
