“Don't you cry no more.“ 🖤
This book caught my eye when I was book shopping with @Rissreadswithcats & when I read the blurb I decided to buy it. A French epistolary novel that starts with a derogatory social media post. Addiction and recovery, #metoo and the pandemic feature in this guns-blazing, disturbing read.
What a book of horror. I‘m not a parent but sometimes I wonder how ya‘ll let your children out into the world. We follow Vanessa in alternating timelines. In 2017 set against the #MeToo movement where she‘s following all the allegations against a former high school English teacher. In 2000 where she‘s 15 and enters a sexual relationship with that teacher. In 2017 she‘s barely coming to realize that she herself was a victim. This was sad and 👇🏼
One of my favorite things about my neighborhood is spring, we have over a thousand cherry blossom trees and it makes my daily neighborhood walks a total pleasure.
Listening to the tagged, at the point where Pamela is making friends with Kick Kennedy and trying to stay clear of the gross Ambassador Kennedy. Would have loved to have seen him go through #MeToo

Finished today for #SheSaid March & it‘s one of those books you can‘t really like because it‘s so damn frustrating especially in our current world but it also an important read. I missed Manne‘s previous book Down Girl but I understand that this book builds & expands on it & focuses on male entitlement & how patriarchy “punishes women for not giving men the moral goods to which they are, by the terms of our social contract entitled.”⬇️
Misleading. At the end one of the women is still unaware that the collision has taken place. So many words saying so little in this book. I didn't connect with the characters at all, as they didn't seem real or realistic. This must be on the #WomensPrize longlist for its #MeToo topic and not for its prose, plot, or characters. The last 3rd had character development and nuance around consent, perception, and self that saved it from the pan.
