I wanted to love this book.  While it was well-written and a great topic, I felt we were inside the minds of the men too much.  I thought Claudia was going to be the main character but instead, so many incels' internal monologue and storylines.  And then Claudia makes a mistake that she sees others make endlessly and it 'just happened'.  Ugggh.
