Reading this gave me the haunting feeling that too many women have gone through similar experiences of stalking from men in power. Freitas conveys her dread in a skin-crawling way that almost all women are familiar with. Oh he's just being nice. Oh, he's just being friendly. How quickly these behaviors become unwelcome and uncomfortable.

I think books like these are important for cisgendered men to read to have better empathy for the female experience.
