For months, New York Times journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey were in confidential talks with top actresses and employees digging into long-buried allegations of sexual harassment and abuse by Harvey Weinstein. However, neither woman was prepared for the sheer momentum of the #MeToo movement that followed the publication of their expose.

Following the Harvey Weinstein investigation from start to publication, She Said is a brilliant look at how investigative journalism works. The details of Harvey Weinstein's crimes are horrifying, but the insights into journalism are fascinating.

The first two-thirds of the book is five-star material, yet the book, unfortunately, loses its steam in the concluding chapters. Attempting to sum up the effects of the #MeToo movement, Kantor and Towhey detail the allegations against Justice Bret Cavanaugh, which doesn't have the same feel since they were not personally involved in the reporting. Still, overall She Said is a terrific and insightful read.
