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.

"Piensa en lo que necesites hacer para ser libre" 

Cuando dijeron que es una reinterpretación del cuento de la criada no mintieron, como siempre es aterrador ver lo que una distopia súper misoginia sería, en esta ocasión es en un mundo en dónde q las mujeres nos quitan la voz, hubo varias veces que quería vomitar del coraje y no podía más, repito es muy aterrador pensar en que eso pudiera llegar a ser verdad en el algún momento

la verdad en general si me gustó mucho la novela, si la recomiendo mucho, mi único problema fue el final y para mí los finales son super importantes y por eso le quite tantas estrellas, se me hizo súper rápido el final, apresurado, le faltaron (a mi parecer) como 5 capitolas más para explicar mejor ese cierre, pero de ahí en fuera me encantó mucho.

This is a book that I couldn't put down, I devoured it in under 24 hours! I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopian novels that make you really think about what the future may possibly look like if the government gains enough power. I'll likely read it again in the future!
