Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Thank you NetGalley and River Grove for the ARC!
I read The Ugly Underneath as a work-related book. I appreciate the brutal honesty, snap shots of the CSAM arena, and providing the professional law enforcement lens. As someone who works with all sides of this coin (perpetrator, survivor, fellow therapists in the field, and law enforcement) I am thankful for the work the author has done for himself to heal including connecting his childhood to how he is showing up as an adult. This book may be "too much" for some people due to triggers, however the reality of child exploitation is not something that we as a society can turn our backs on. Thank you for also providing resources for the community on how to get involved and the continuous reminder for those in the field to not overly compartmentalize.
