4.25
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.

If you want some deep treatise on feminism, this isn't quite it. Things will be wrapped up in a nice bow before you put the book down. So if you want something that has lots of payoff for the sad parts, that makes you think but doesn't leave you frustrated, or that makes you feel just a little bit better by the end - this book is absolutely for you.
The main characters are smart, but not annoyingly so. Side characters get the most development, which is not my preference but worked well enough here. All in all, it's a very cozy book and I thoroughly enjoyed my read!
