This was a fantastic exploration of academia and the abuse of power within marginalized communities. This story follows Tatum, a young woman struggling to thrive in the academic world until she meets famous author Mateo, who at first seems like a great friend, until he isn’t.
Later in her life, Tatum receives a call from a journalist asking her to comment on the recent S.A allegations against Mateo and how her relationship to Mateo truly was. Told through letter written to Mateo, Tatum recounts her relationship to him and how he held so much power of her.
This was such a wonderful audiobook and overall important book. It touches on topics of racism, classism, and the power men hold over women during financial strain. Highly recommend if you are looking for a book that will make you think about the power we have within ourselves and the power we have to stand up against predatory men.
