This was a gripping page turner about a private investigator and her work to expose and hold accountable a university that prioritized football heroes over victims of sexual assault. I couldn’t put it down and finished the book quickly.
I docked half a star because there were a few moments where the author delved into her personal story in a way that felt disjointed (though most of the moments where she weaved in her own experiences it felt connected to the larger story).
I am a big fan of this book and will never read it again.

This was a harrowing story of a prolific sexual assault case and just how far someone will go to protect reputations, status, and integrity. Hearing the details of the case and
how easily it was thrown out
makes my blood boil, but
in the end, justice prevailed.
I found it interesting how Erika let her own trauma and past drive the investigation and court case, and her determination when every  odd was against her was inspiring.

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.

This reads more like a memoir than true crime coverage.  It is a real middle of the road book for me.  I was very interested in the subject and wanted to learn more about the case, but I think I’d have learned more about it if I’d done my own research (which I will now do).
