Review from the Houston Press: Should I Read It? The Other Side is required reading for anyone who is skeptical of the inherent misogyny in heteronormative culture. There is an overt war on women, this war is not a new one. Johnson shows that the major battles are fought in the interior lives of women, the sanctums of domesticity that are seldom glimpsed by outsiders. The social media outlets of today have brought the conflict to the forefront of public discourse, but this chilling memoir is a reminder of the violence that very often goes unnoticed, and, worse yet, unpunished. 
I think I picked this book to read because of the many recent misogyny threads on DU. And no, I'm not a skeptic as I do believe "there is an overt war on women". I read it in one sitting. It's not that long, but an extremely compelling 1st person account of her experience with the man she identifies as The Man I Used To Live With.
