i decided to add this book to my tbr when i saw someone describing it as "barbie without ken". but i think i would have enjoyed it more if i knew that its basically an accumulation of comics the author put together because i think i spent the first quarter of the book a bit confused about the "plot" not being linear somehow.
however, i think it was a nice story. ofc it portrays millenial feminism and its not an exhaustive study of it, instead, the story just includes anecdotes of a group of a women in a post apocalyptic world with no men. sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're relatable, sometimes they're both.
also, i loved all of the characters. every woman is going through her own stuff and its nice to see how there's some character development by the end. i think my favorite character was emiko, she was so cute <3
overall it has a nice concept and its pretty lighthearted, but the humor might not be for everyone.

A super cute story about a super terrifying concept! Dhaliwal is amazing at balancing humor and depth at the same time without cheapening any of her characters or storylines. The plot and characters are a bit simplistic but still loveable and I was rooting for all of them to sort out their individual struggles
