<b>“Just as much an investigator as a memoirist, Nevils attempts to tunnel through the lurid details and the #MeToo boilerplate and unearth something much knottier.”<br><i>—The Atlantic</i><br><br>A powerful and personal examination of our most persistent and dangerous misunderstandings, myths and stereotypes about sexual harassment and assault</b><br><br>In 2017, Brooke Nevils made a confidential HR complaint about one of the most powerful and familiar faces in media.

Despite its rarefied setting at the height of fame, power, and American media, Brooke’s story serves as a textbook example of an all-too-common scenario that continues to devast
