Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed her writing! The absolute courage it must have taken for her to come forward is unimaginable. 4.5⭐️

Upsetting, honest, and starkly funny, E Jean Carroll is a national treasure for her journalistic legacy and well as her historical one with the most flawed president we‘ve ever had. Read by the author, learning about her personal journey was fascinating.

I knew of E. Jean Carroll‘s rape case against Trump but I live under a rock and don‘t keep up with celebrities or the wealthy so I didn‘t know what I was in for when I downloaded this audio other than a patron at work going on about it and sparking my curiosity. E.Jean narrates the audio. She‘s brave and funny and her retelling of this case was quite unique. I love that she‘s donating the +$100M she wins to all the causes Trump hates. Brilliant!

Not sure what I expected, but this was far better and actually, strangely enjoyable. I‘m going to look for Carroll‘s other books because her voice is very readable. There were some difficult parts, as expected, but overall she makes this memoir funny, relatable, quick-paced, and memorable. Highly recommend.

This right here is why I can actually say I‘m enjoying this book. Carroll‘s sense of humor is just fantastic.

…like all survivors of sexual assault who take their cases to court, my body is at the heart of the case…

There‘s a theme in my current reading.

Just picked up today‘s library #bookhaul - now all I need is time to catch up on all my library books. I believe this makes four at the moment.

I didn‘t really follow either of the trials that has awarded E. Jean in upwards now of $100 million (there is 9% compounded daily for lack of payment, so all those appeals & delays are adding up). I‘m not familiar with her writing style. Is it the best book I‘ve ever read? No. Do I support women? Yes. Do I support a woman that wants to donate her money that she was awarded to causes like women‘s reproductive rights, voting, healthcare? Yes
