Publisher's summary

Snitch is a fascinating story that offers a unique lens to view the #MeToo movement, inhabiting the mind of a female lawyer specializing in cases of sexual misconduct, by acclaimed feminist poet Olivia Gatwood.

Gianna Costa is an infamous attorney who has made a name for herself defending high-profile celebrities from sexual assault allegations. But what occurs in the private life of a woman who is known by some as a traitor to her own gender and others as a fast-pass to absolution? When a man from Gianna's past walks into her office looking for support, she is forced to reconcile with a memory she thought she'd left behind.

Electric and captivating, Snitch is a story of ambition, connection, and gender dynamics in our cultural moment.

I'm not supposed to like this character but I do

Entertaining story, great narrator performance. This character is written to be at first glance, Unlikable. But somehow she is still likable! Perhaps because women are usually so focused on others, It is refreshing to see a character focused on her own needs (and helps that she's fictional! ;-))

This character is a guilty pleasure of that I hope I see again

Interesting

Reading the other reviews, it seems like what you get out of this story depends a LOT on the listener. I thought it was really smart and nuanced. It’s not preaching any point of view, just examining one person and how she chooses to deal with knowledge of a terrible event. There are reasons why she behaves how she does and I think it’s an interesting (but sad) situation.

Worth listening to

I liked the story and felt obligated to leave a review because all of the people calling it pointless. I also wanted to hear a more satisfying conclusion but am not going give a bad review because I got so wrapped up in the story that the ending made me annoyed enough to wright one.

"Snitch" is good, it leaves people wanting more...

"Snitch" is good, it needs more depth. it needs more development and scenes about the main character and the therapist. Plus, it would be improved with a couple of scenes with Ingrid and the main character in the present. all that said, I would recommend "Snitch".

decent story, amateur reader

I enjoyed the language of the writing, but I think I would have enjoyed reading it myself..the reader sounded monotone and stilted at times, only injecting changes of tone and speed for the male characters. the Main Character felt like she had too little emotion, though that was probably intentional.

Encore?

The ending didn't seem final. And, the story"s so good, it left me wanting more, this can't be the end of it. I'm so confused. Is there a sequel? Or, is there at least a sequel coming?

AMAZING!!!!

Definitely worth listening to. It's a very interesting look into the life of a woman who "works the system", who defends men accused of rape and It's very good at it. The story is short, but that's exactly what makes it powerful. Listen to it, you're not going to regret it!!

Then and now - times change
