While I enjoyed the storyline and the idea of this book. In my opinion it wasn't executed very well, saying 8months later when it was right after what just happened didn't make any sense

Amazing portrayal of eugenics, classism and racism to a spot on illustration of white feminism and more, this book doesn’t shy away from the hard questions. While a bit difficult to get through as the protagonist was intentionally unlikeable (the abused advocating for the abuser) but her character development was very satisfying at the conclusion.
