The writing is fine, but the story was slow, cliche, and very heavy handed. It became preachy very quickly. The sexism was overdone straying into cartoonish villains.
I personally hated the dog’s perspective, and I hated all the talk of rowing.

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.
