Michelle 's Reviews > Bright Young Women

Phenomenal!!!

A round of applause and my immense gratitude to Jessica Knoll for writing this story and honoring women and victims everywhere.

“I’ve tried to make sense of how someone who didn’t stalk his victims in advance ended up going after the best and the brightest. And I think that’s it, the thing they all had in common—a light that outshone his. He targets college campuses and sorority houses because he’s looking for the cream of the crop. He wants to extinguish us—we are the ones who remind him that he’s not that smart, not that good-looking, that there’s nothing particularly special about him.”

I'd be lying if I said that this book didn't make me furious. The ineptitude of so many people involved in this case was disheartening to say the least. Bright young women made to look like hysterical unreliable narrators. Why? Because they were women, plain and simple. It makes me want to punch my fist into this unfair universe where women are still treated like this to this very day. Yes, we've come a long way, but we've got a lot further to go.

Nothing I say or write will do this book the justice it deserves. I can only urge each and everyone of you to read this. All. The. Stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
