Overall, this was a pretty interesting and thought-provoking memoir of Facebook-whistleblower Frances Haugen.

It is very much a memoir that spends a non-trivial amount of time on Haugen's life and career before joining Facebook. Some of this was useful context to Haugen's background and headspace before leading up to Facebook, but the pre-Facebook parts did feel a tad bit unnecessarily long to me. Not all of it felt relevant, and I can't help but think the central point of the book might have been better framed around Facebook first and relevant history interspersed throughout, rather than the current structure of a roughly chronological memoir with bits of how these parts were relevant to Facebook interspersed throughout.

It is still an interesting read though- there were many parts of Facebook that I hadn't been aware of at the time of reading.

I have been on a nonfiction kick recently and this one stood out for many reasons. I loved the honesty and emotion. I felt like I was in the moment with the author and I felt like the articulation of the circumstances were easy to understand which I appreciated with such a complex issue.

Suffering wrong at work? You ain't seen nothing yet. Read this memoir and be thankful you are not this woman.
