I was on the edge of my seat, turning pages as fast as I could and ended up reading the book in less than a day. I cackled. I gasped. I laughed. I cringed. I cackled some more. I cringed some more – Roxanne GayWynn-Williams writes with the kind of precise fury that can only come from someone who’s been inside the beast – Jake Adelstein, journalist and author of Tokyo ViceUnbelievable and necessary … wonderfully written, propulsive, novelistic and laugh-out-loud at times – Maria Semple, bestselling author of Where’d You Go, BernadetteJaw-dropping … It’s a story that will fire you up, and make you want to fight back – GlamourA well-written bombshell – Jonathan Haidt, bestselling author of The Anxious Generation
