Even with all these caveats, I enjoyed the book very much, and I would highly recommend it. The author does an excellent job of showing how structural sexism harms all of society, not just women. The tragedies in the book feel very complex and human.

I am 60 Pages in and there were already scenes and mentions (it‘s so sketchy) in it, i think are more important and in need of a thorough discussion than mentioning it, wirhdraw emotionally and here we go again…
The rape scene was described and disgusting and that was it, she withdrew from it, shuttered some time and here she goes again. Avoidant tactics? I don’t know. It didn’t sit well with me.
Her brothers death wasn‘t further described in the contrary… just mentioned it to her boyfried and that was it.
Her issues or Women’s issues were there from the start and when i think about it that it will continue like this for 330 more pages? No, thank you. I know these topics are important to talk about but it sounded like a soppy woman…
Than the chemical descriptions and mentionings and whatnot… ufff…
When they called the dog to watch another dog in TV i was so out of here.
They were so bourgeois, sleek, white people, with a dog, a white fence, a bungalow (already payed of course)… 60 pages in and i‘m already rambling about it… must be a good book in the end… just not for me…
