I love clementine so much i’m not even going to pretend to be objective. This feminist gem by goddess clementine presents a case against marriage for modern women and explains how capitalist patriarchal structures need women to believe in and strive for marriage in order to maintain control over women’s agency and freedoms. It covers so many topics as well - as always, it’s witty, well-researched, and cutting. loved it. loveloveloved it.

Overall I liked the book, being a committed marriage abolitionist myself. However I feel it was a bit on the light side, which is good in the sense that this discussion needs to be had more everywhere. Also could have done without the casual ableism.
