Oh my goodness, this was superb.

Krell offers a compelling narrative of the legal case she was at the forefront of for so many years. It was masterfully written - understandable to those who do not work in the legal field but also so revealing for those who do.
I was truly so attached to the figures in the book, I was rooting for each of the victims to seek and achieve their own justice.

I can only compare the jubilation I felt when the monsters behind Backpage were shut down to how I felt the day Weinstein was sentenced. Justice achieved for those who were justice-less for so long.

Maggie Krell fought for them from the very beginning, and I am honoured to have read this from her perspective.
I understand the publication date is not for a while - but I cannot recommend this book enough. I couldn't put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and NYUPress for providing me with an ARC in exchange for this honest review.
