Description
'An ambitious gut-punch of a novel' Bobby Palmer, author of Isaac and the Egg
' So nuanced, assured, and utterly devastating ' Layne Fargo, author of The Favourites
'Will have you hooked until the last page' Cecile Pin, author of Wandering Souls
She did everything right. So why did it go so wrong?
Men like him - in positions of power who watched the wheels of suppression turn from a distance, standing by and doing nothing - were the protectors of the broken system.
They're the fuel that made the fire burn.
Jade is everything she ever wanted to be. Successful lawyer. Dutiful daughter. Beloved girlfriend. Loyal friend. Until one night, something terrible happens after a work event, and she starts to wonder if she really wants to be the person she's become.
She's learned to laugh when she's felt like crying, opted to be invisible when she wanted to speak up and changed her identity to please people.
But now Jade has a decision to make.
Protect her job and reputation or expose the truth and face the consequences?

Tolle Protagonistin und wichtiges Thema!
Sehr spannend wie diese Thematik verarbeitet und auf die Probleme aufmerksam gemacht wird. Das Ende ist wahrscheinlich sehr nah an der Realität, dennoch hätte ich mir da mehr gewünscht. Das Ende war ein wenig enttäuschend. Änder aber nichts daran, dass das Buch absolut lesenswert ist.
