Even though this book is about sexual harassment in the workplace and the place women have in the workplace, I had a hard time reading it. It was slow, it beat around the bush quite a lot, and it gave too many details of the characters' internal dialogue, sometimes branching out and not reaching a good stopping point or a place where it made sense.
Too many times the descriptions of the events/actions taking place were blurry and confusing, the kind that only made sense to the writer when writing. I still don't fully understand how Ames died: did he fall? Was he pushed by Ardie? Was Katherine trying to hold him or was she the one to finally push him? The description of the event makes this unclear.
It was also kind of predictable. I knew Ames was the one to die even before the first CEO died.
The book was completely hard to relate to, though. The characters are all good-looking, incredibly wealthy, still young women. As a struggling 30 y.o., I couldn't see past the wealth and the high-position jobs to empathize with them and their fight against sexism, harassment, and the trials of simply being a woman. And in the end, everything got solved with money and the death of the perpetrator, hurray! Such a pity things don't happen like this in real life.
