Josie is a journalist, writing small pieces. She enters and wins a contest with a major magazine. She wins the chance to take part of a multi city press tour for a new movie and write about the up and coming young star, Marius. In the middle of this, she catches wind of another story. An actress lets her know the abuse she has gone through at a major producer's hand. One that has the chance to ruin his life and will allow many girl/women's voices to be heard.
"Sometimes it's hard to remember your voice is important until the world reminds you"
I applaud Josie in this journey she takes on writing about this producer a la the me too movement. I really liked that it shows this doesn't just happen to women/girls. It shows it can happen to men, boys, non binary, any people- black, white, it doesn't matter.
It's very hard to hear about how this person gets away with it for so long, he had the power over so many people and could ruin their lives in an instant.
Josie also deals with anxiety and low body positivity. I wept when she kept saying "people just see me as fat". I wept when she tells what she went through but kept trying to say "it was different" but abuse, no matter how small, is still abuse.
I know my words don't do the book justice, but I think it's a very important read.
