A quick, gripping read that’s a challenging portrait of a not-to outlandish dystopian future. I felt for all of the buildup the ending felt a bit rushed but overall it was a great read.

The premise and plot of this book is very clever, but the actual execution of it just missed something for me.

5.0

I love when a book makes me think and makes me feel something. That’s what this book is, it shows you the short path between women’s rights being slowly taken away until we are eventually silenced. I know it’s a dystopian book and it might be seen as silly to take it that seriously but it hits pretty close to home if you are paying attention to your surroundings.

3.0

I felt this was an interesting concept, but poorly explored. The science was a little far fetched and the ending felt very chaotic and unclear at times.

I was also keen to see how the story would develop in terms of deradicalising a family member from a harmful ideology but this never materialised and it was just assumed the character changed their whole world view overnight.
