This was a very difficult read. The book is very well done and I was thoroughly invested in the victims of the case discussed, as well as the author and her own personal story. This book made me gasp, shake my head, stop and gather myself,  cry, and scream in anger. It is not for the faint of heart. All the trigger warnings for any and all sexual assault and abuse. Seriously. It is difficult but the case involved is so important. I was fascinated by the investigative work done.

There are portions of this book that cuts deep, and then other pieces of her life and trauma thrown in that was dark and very icky, and seemed really unnecessary.

This book combined memoir and true crime, which I don’t think is a good (reliable) combination. The author’s story about her experiences as a PI, childhood, abuse, and relationships felt like a strange mix with the Title IX case. Just seemed like 2 separate stories, awkwardly woven together. I think it would be better presented solely as a memoir. I try to be more generous when “rating” memoirs, but this just had too many glaring issues in my opinion.
