A heavy, heavy read. I found the author did a wonderful job at delicately yet honestly describing rape culture from multiple perspectives / time frames. This is a difficult topic that honestly is just recently started to get support for survivors. The podcast aspect was also a unique way to tie everything together with current pop culture. There were a couple things that kept it from being 5 full stars from me but I appreciate this book and the challenge it took on.
