I've let this story sit for nearly six months now and I'm still not sure what my opinion on it is.

On the one hand, it was quick to read (given the themes I wouldn't say easy) and it had an interesting take on Medusa's myth. On the other, I'm not quite sure how much I like the feminist part of it. 
Technically, the conclusion is "we can't do anything about sexism, so we just roll with it"? And the assisted su*cide
Very confused, but I'd recommend it to people I trust so we could discuss it. Definitely a book that made me think about things.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC.
