A well written and intriguing novel. As someone who loves dystopian novels and learning about women's issues, this book was right up my alley - especially since Atwood has said that the events of the novel all take precedents in real world events.

This was the first book I read for school that I would read on my own. It is emotional, thought-provoking, and deeply powerful. Incredible societal commentary, especially after Trump and the attempted coup on January 6th.
