Rezension von FreiaSPOILER If I’d known the premise beforehand, I wouldn’t have read the book. I find it absolutely horrendous to write an entire book about a false rape report in this day and age. Out of all the real-life horror stories you could choose, you chose this one? Now girl, be fr. Women are silenced every day, and your book just added to that. While I’m able to recognize good writing, and I liked the Nugent-typical ending, ffs, what’s the value of this book supposed to be? In comparison, Sally Diamond is smart, funny, uplifting, and has great plot twists. Ruby Cooper is repetitive, contrived, and nothing you couldn’t have guessed from the first few pages. I usually enjoy an unlikeable protagonist, but literally any other topic could have done it. So as my final words: We don’t need books wrongly accusing men of rape when this is something that almost never happens! Yet every woman brave enough to come forward about being assaulted by a man has to face exactly these accusations.
