Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood by Maureen Ryan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
First of all, I’m not sure of the motivation of the author. She seemed very knowledgeable of the industry – as a critic. But I don’t really understand why she was writing this book, and then constantly defending herself of why she was writing this book. I would’ve rather heard from an actual industry insider. Many of the stories are so vague that it’s hard to become invested.
