Anyone reading/read it? If so, what are your thoughts. I'm about half-way through...

great score on Goodreads. I don't like non-fiction and it is probably a tough read.

The only negative comment so far is that she didn’t name more names

I don't know if I can handle it emotionally, but I did put it on hold at my library.

Just buy the book. I’m sure her kids could use the money.

Excellent point, and what a courageous woman she was to write the truth!

This is what I will do. I think it's going to be one of those books that you can't forget the details once you read them. As a sx assault survivor, as I think most Gen X women are, I think it's important to honor her and buy to book to say, I believe you."

I haven’t read the book but have read many excerpts from it. Even these are highly disturbing. The number of people who saw her - she was at Naomi Campbell’s 40th birthday party and looked like a complete child- and stood by and did nothing to intervene is astonishing. She also referenced a prime minister who raped her twice. I wish she had named him but commend her for telling her story. This abuse will continue until people start speaking up.

I will buy the book to show my support and am enjoying articles on Substack about how Prince Andrew is FINALLY starting to feel real heat. I hope the articles are true that Prince William will strip him of the prince title when he becomes king.

OK, good point. I just bought it (I'm the one who said I put it on hold at the library).

OP, mind sharing your thoughts?

I am not going to buy it or read it because I feel like people reading it are salivating over the details.

Her life was sad and awful and she was genuinely a survivor, until she wasn't. I think she was eventually, heard.

I did read Jaycee Dugard's autobiography about 10 yrs ago, because she suffered for what, 18 years in captivity and she was NOT heard.

You couldn't be more wrong. The FACTS of the people and events are much more compelling. Most people aren't reading it to "salivate" over anything salacious. (There is far too much porn available if that's what a reader wants.)

It needs to be read because it is a testament that people with power and money can get away with anything, including breaking the law and using human beings like disposable tissues.

One victim reported she was told if she didn't cooperate with law enforcement she would be compensated. She said, "Those who help [Epstein] will be compensated and those who hurt him will be dealt with."

If that isn't relative to today's environment of the rich and powerful calling all the shots I don't know what is.

I can only imagine the powerful people (men and women) who were involved with this disgusting behavior. And how many of them are continuing with their abuses albeit more cautiously and under-the-radar.

Name ALL the names, I say.

I will say that I wish it were not written in a memoir style but was a biography written entirely by Wallace where she quotes Giuffre. The segue between segments often feel jagged where you can tell what has been written/researched by a professional (Wallace) and what Giuffre contributed. But it is a minor criticism.

This is a compelling read and should enlighten people to understand how sick & twisted rich and powerful people are truly monsters.

I’m listening to the audiobook and am about 7 chapters in. It is disturbing and I can only listen in small doses. And it hasn’t even really discussed Epstein yet.

Chiming in many months later because I just finished reading. I shouldn't be shocked more people haven't been held accountable for their crimes but I am. So sad that so many people, most importantly her parents, did nothing to protect her.
