It's definitely written for a young audience and the emotions of the characters are not very nuanced

3.0

Interesting premise. I enjoy a feminist heroine but this protagonist spent far too much time harping on how she was different from other women and bemoaning how the men around her underestimated her. I get it it. Men and the patriarchy are the worst, but we probably could have stopped wasting so much narration on making the same point over and over. Also I guessed the twist ending pretty early on which made the protagonist's obliviousness frustrating.

Slight spoilers for first and second book The drug use/abuse is referring to her father's use of opium and Thomas’s smoking (although I’ve read he stops in the second book)
