It took me a while to get into this book; not because it was uninteresting or poorly written, but because I was so incredibly angry at the almost ceaseless misogyny that the main character just kept facing.

I'm so glad I stuck it out, though, because it paid off heavily in the end.

I cried so much for Elizabeth as well as every woman who has been told she "isn't smart enough" or the other myriad ways to say "less than".

The shifting perspectives (especially Six-Thirty's) made for a well-fleshed out and nuanced build up of the story and I really appreciated the blunt characterizations and descriptions.

I can see why this book has been hyped up so much.

It was well worth the read.

I picked this book up at the library and could not put it down. I read it in four hours. I cried, I laugh, I got angry, and swelled with happiness reading this story. It's so incredibly good and perhaps my new favorite book even. Wow!
