I read this book as part of a discord book club, I likely wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. I'm glad I did though because this was good! It's a fast read, and not super scary for a notorious wimp like me. I think this book serves its purpose as a metaphor for the "monsters" that women and people of color face in everyday life and the fact that they are routinely ignored by those with privilege. The insistence of the white men in the story that the danger did not exist in their community mirrors the denial of systemic racism and sexism.
