This isn‘t published until 14th March in the UK but @MicheleinPhilly convinced me to read it out of #netgalley date order, and I‘m so glad she did.

I knew the premise before I started and I was breathless for the first part, waiting for ‘the thing‘ to happen, and then devoured the second part, wishing for a conclusion but not wanting it to end. And I cried at the end too.

I wish I‘d seen the play with Jodie Comer…

MicheleinPhilly Damn, it looks like the NT @ Home video got pulled from YouTube. 😕 2mo

squirrelbrain I‘d forgotten about that @MicheleinPhilly - but too late now anyway. 🙄 2mo

Kitta The play with Jodie Comer was fantastic, so hard hitting I cried. I don‘t know if I could read it, books always hit me harder 2mo

CarolynM I saw it on stage. Not Jodie Comer but still excellent. Don‘t think I could face reading it, although I‘m interested in how it‘s been adapted to deal with the place specific-ness of the play. 2mo

Cathythoughts Great review!! Stacking 👍🏻♥️ 2mo

squirrelbrain @Kitta @CarolynM - I‘m very jealous of both of you. @kitta - @micheleinphilly saw the play and has read the book so she‘ll be able to tell you which was the toughest…. 2mo

Kitta @MicheleinPhilly was the book tough? With a read if I have my own SA trauma? I‘m worried it‘s too much. 2mo

MicheleinPhilly @Kitta I would probably advise you to skip it. For me, the play had a bigger emotional impact due to Jodie‘s performance, but this expands on everything and I was viscerally uncomfortable. 2mo

Kitta @MicheleinPhilly thanks! I will. The play had me in tears and I had a hard time with it, so I‘m happy to skip it if it‘ll be too hard to read. 2mo

MicheleinPhilly @Kitta Yes, that‘s probably a good decision. The play destroyed me and I walked back to my hotel, in the rain, in a daze. I was telling Helen the other day that a man in the bar saw my Playbill and asked me “You alright, love?” He had seen it the night before and he was still shaken by it. 2mo

squirrelbrain @kitta - I‘m sorry you‘ve been through such trauma. It sounds a wise idea to skip the book. 2mo

Wow! What can I say about this book. I guess first I'll start with the trigger warnings- explicit sexual conduct, issues regarding sexual assault and consent. This book will have contemplating and asking questions about is right and what is just. Extremely powerful, yet so many mixed emotions entangled with it. It's a must read! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you #netgalley for the ARC for my honest review. I listened to the audiobook, Narrator was AMAZING!

I read this novelization of Suzie Miller‘s 1 woman show in a single sitting yesterday. Intense doesn‘t even begin to describe it. I was fortunate to have seen the play on Broadway and this expands on that, giving larger roles to Tessa‘s mum, brother, friends and co-workers. But this is still very much Tessa‘s story. Her heartbreak, fear, and RAGE are palpable. Highly recommended but please tread carefully.

squirrelbrain Just started it…. Only read first chapter though and, of course, not having seen the play I don‘t know the story. (I deliberately haven‘t looked up any spoilers) 2mo

The_Book_Ninja Saw the play in London with Jodi Comer. She was superb 2mo

MicheleinPhilly @The_Book_Ninja I was completely gobsmacked by her performance. 2mo

Kitta I saw this on Broadway with Jodie Comer! It was incredible. So hard hitting. 2mo

It‘s been a quiet day ‘round here, after the excitement of our 95th Birthday Bash on Thursday! Just enough visitors in Children‘s not to make me feel like I‘m in solitary, but mostly, I‘m reading and sipping. (But y‘all, what IS IT with the trend of not using quotation marks?????) 🤷🏻‍♀️💖 #primafacie #suziemiller

Jodie Comer was amazing as the unpredictable assassin in Killing Eve.So her next step is a one woman show?An intense look how women are often failed by the law in regards to sexual assault.From shows in Australia, Londons West End to Broadway.
Jodie had to take a day off when smoke from Canadian fires arrived. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/tony-nominee-jodie-comer-on-prima-facie/ an amazing segment!

MicheleinPhilly I saw her in this back in April. Truly extraordinary! 11mo

DivineDiana I just watched the interview with her about this on the Sunday Morning show. Hope I can get to see it! 11mo

Leftcoastzen @MicheleinPhilly wow ! I bet ! Somehow this was not on my radar. 11mo
