I have mixed feelings.
Enjoyed the book itself, I wanted to know what happened, read it at home as well as on the train (I usually only read on the train)... But I feel like we shouldn't be focusing on false accusations stories and trying to make out that feminists are trying to destroy people's lives. It felt icky at times. I liked that there was nuance - the other characters, their stories, and opinions - but yeah, something was off to me. Especially the penultimate chapter. Don't get that coffee, girl.
The very last twist was unexpected and did turn it around a little, but the damage had still been done.
