What a page turner! This was an excellent sequel to the handmaid's tale. Atwood truly does have a way with words. The book answered so many (but not all of) the questions that I had from reading the handmaids tale, and really allowed me to reflect on our current society and the small and less extreme similarities that modern society has to Gilead. It was also really good that we had two different perspectives from those raised and not raised in Gilead.

crazy story, really fun to get through and try to solve everything
only things are at some points to so hard to read because of some pretty violent situations as well as a lot of triggering content 
if the content won’t trigger you absolutely read it
