Oh boy.

This was pretty bad. The writing itself was okay. It was readable in that middle of the road way that thrillers can be. The protagonist, Maris, is a junior sociology professor at a Midwestern university and lives with her husband and daughter froma previous relationship. After an incident months before, she quit drinking. But people who were close to her don't really believe she's quit.

So, Maris is trying for tenure. She's supposedly a feminist who has a decent social media following because she writes think pieces on white male privilege, and about a local rape case where the rapist only served 4 months. And then the blackouts start.

Without spoiling it, it's the most over the top story I've read in a long time. It's not based in reality or science. And Maris' feminism feels weird and inauthentic. It's the most white lady feminism ever; it's so bad it feels like a parody. The story was stupid. The pacing went wonky about halfway through. And the resolution was an insult to people who manage to sit through the whole thing.

Do yourself a favour and miss this one.
