A brilliant, satisfying story about a woman smashing the patriarchy with science and sheer wit.

heycoffeegirl's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 30%

The dog being personified annoyed the hell out of me. It just felt generally boring with little to no payoff… Girl Power all the way, but a little cringe for me. Also weirdly police apologist for a sec there…

Wspaniała

this is not a 5 star book this is like stars are not enough to convey it this book is the universe. i can’t verbalise why i love this or what is so good about it for me or anything it just is so unbelievably excellent. that’s all i can say. actually one more thing this made me realise that i really like narratives where you see where you’re going to end up at the beginning and then it does a whole I bet ur wondering how i got here thing i really like that
