I loved the concept of this book and it was pretty gripping once the plot was moving. However, I was disappointed with the rushed ending and lack of detail

A book that maybe had an interesting enough version of feminist dystopian fiction but was largely spoiled by a quite lazy plot. Everything that unfolds in the story is the result of a series of coincidences, each less believable than the last. The
plot twist could be spotted a mile away
. I had a fine enough time reading it but I wouldn’t recommend it.

A must read. Christina Dalcher shows the importance of always standing up and speaking out. How quickly things can take a turn for the worse and the power of women. Such a well written and page turning novel.

Should be a compulsory read at school mainly in the US but in every part of the world too....
Too many feels crossing my mind after this read but mainly anger and sparks to fight for the rights of everyone and for the end of toxic masculinity
