Better than the first one, and that’s largely because of the audiobook reader. I found all the conversations about food to be obnoxious and I didn’t really understand why it was so prevalent. I liked that this one felt a little more balanced than the first one when it’s came to steamy scenes. Despite seeing a post that said this one had more steamy scenes than HR, I didn’t really feel that??? This one had a lot more meat to it. Can’t wait to see how they put this into show format....more

That is all. Jk, I’ll tell you more I guess. I couldn’t get down with the audiobook at all, the beginning was beyond confusing and hard to get into, and when I finally got into it, I still found it to be poorly written and confusing. I feel like I get what the message was, but I just found it to be the most confusing way to make that statement. Surprised this doesn’t have a lower rating honestly....more

It tackles some hard topics…the brokenness of the justice system, religious trauma, domestic abuse, child abuse, etc. I am floored that this situation went the way that it did, as there was so much damning evidence, starting with the note that was locked in a safe from Susan herself. We need to start protecting and believing women in this country, as there are so many things stacked against them already....more

Virginia’s story is so harrowing that it feels like fiction, as it doesn’t seem possible that someone could face such adversity and still have the drive to fight for others. Everyone needs to read this and call for the Epstein files to be released (forreal)....more
