This dystopian novel is not so much a dystopia anymore. It was an interesting read, but the style wasn't to my liking. It was more curiosity that drove me to finish the story, rather than any actual care for the characters. Interesting themes.

I was really excited for this book, as I always am with a book like this. But it just didn't meet my expectations. Don't get me wrong, the message is lovely, and the struggles are very real and valid. The book was just not as good as I'd hoped. Dystopian are always hit or miss for me, but this book was in the middle. Whenever I thought of this book, I immediately wanted to read something else, and I really hate that, because this book is so raw and real. But the characters only trait was being angry at the patriarchy. And while I agree, I wish I could have seen myself in them other than just the feminist side. But they were just not it. The plot was everywhere, and the world-building was minimal. And it hit a bit too close to home, considering what's going on with abortion laws in America right now. I would recommend you check it out for yourself, and see what you think! Please check the content warnings, as always, and #MyBodyMyChoice
