Whisper Network by Chandler Baker
5.0
This is, without a doubt, the most important book for women to read right now. WOW. Not only is it a gripping thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page, but it is a timely and provocative view of what it means to be a woman in the workforce, what it means to be a woman PERIOD.
I am blown away by Baker's fiercely feminist writing and her ability to capture in words what I have always failed to. I found myself gaping at the book in my hands over and over as I read, nodding and saying out loud, "Oh, my God -- she gets it!" It is truly a powerful read, and one that will stay with me forever.
Every single character in this book will remind you of someone -- your best friend, your neighbor, the girl who sits next to you in the office, YOURSELF. Baker brilliantly reveals the highs and the lows of womanhood, the tricky and delicate balance of being a mother, a wife, a best friend, and a career woman. This is more than a "whodunnit." This is a "we have all done it, now, what do we do about it?"
What's better than the writing, and better than the characters, and better than the suspense is the overall message in Baker's book, which is this: women need to support each other. We need to stand together and hold each other up, not back, not under. I felt so empowered at the end of this novel and I have since been shoving into the hands of every one of my friends and colleagues.
Simply put, Whisper Network is a poignant, hilarious, and timely must-read. I cannot recommend it enough. Easily going on my list of top reads in 2020!
