I Have Some Questions For You

I'm grateful for the Goodreads community as I think about this book. I agree with many of the criticisms, but I think that the strong reactions indicate that it was thought provoking and powerful enough to generate smart responses. The author captures the 90s well, particularly the boarding school bubbles. But I did feel that the mystery and the political statements around MeToo competed with — rather than complimented — each other. Still, it's an impressive feat to explore both effectively, which she did. Having just finished her previous book about the AIDS crisis, I didn't enjoy the character development here nearly as much and found the protagonist kind of annoying. But I do recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a mystery kind of like Gone Girl, but with the historical setting as a character and also explicit social commentary about gender, abuse, and racial injustice
