reflective fast-paced

4.0

[He] was an adult man and an elected public official, and my daughter was a dumb kid in love, and he ended up fine, and she’s a punch line.

Tackles misogyny, slut shaming, double standards… how men so often end up fine while women are forever branded with a scarlet letter. This was enjoyable to read but it didn’t feel as empowering as it could have been, probably due to its writing style/gimmick.
