Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I will be recommending this book to literally anyone and everyone! It genuinely exceeded all my expectations.
Holly Bourne has absolutely nailed it!!! She crafted this book sooo well! Couldn't stop reading. I loved the characters and their development, there were sooo many immensely important and powerful conversations and messages weaved into the story and it perfectly portraits what it's like being a woman... It's so sad HOW close to reality it all is. It's sad what our world has become in so many aspects and it's also terrifying that that's what we just have to deal with in this society. 
I felt so connected to Joni and Belle and I felt all their internal battles and worries and also their rage... 
They are both such strong characters and the ending had me in chills. The world could be a much better place If we as women at least all stuck together instead of adding even more fuel to the fire by going against one another in a world that already makes it so incredibly hard an uncomfortable to exist as a woman 🌸
EVERYONE needs to read this!!!

thought i’d branch out with a feminist book - it was good but I think I prefer my crappy romance books I can’t lie
