Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow
5.0
TW: survivor stories of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault
I gotta say, this book is insanely tense and dramatic and it really reads like a thriller. Oh no though, this crazy shit really happened in real life and is still going on. The lengths people went to protect predators is anger inducing and beyond infuriating in how many people were involved. God, I'm still mad just thinking about it and every time I see an update on the news I want to screech. I'm glad they got exposed and hope we keep down the path of yeeting disgusting rapists and believing women.
It's not an easy read but I would still recommend it. It's intense and I feel weird for saying it but it's also entertaining because of how complete batshit and real it is. Please keep exposing these nasty men who use their power to get away with sexual assault.

"In the end, the courage of women can't be stamped out. And stories - the big ones, the true ones - can be caught but never killed."The author narrated the audiobook and he was really extra but fantastic at it. He even did distinct voices for people. There was a part where he was trying to get an audio recording and I didn't expect them to play the actual clip but they did and that was neat (but also wtf). My only problem with the audiobook was random music would play... for seemingly no reason. It wasn't at the beginning of a chapter but just whenever?? For dramatic effect I guess?
