Enjoyed the plot, setting and most of the characters but was sometimes annoyed by the main character.

Meh. I'm not mad I read it, and it did have some interesting themes. The writing just wasn't really it for me and I found myself wanting more.

To sum it up, white feminism. It’s such a shame because the premise could have been interesting, but instead it fleshed out in a shallow way. I would say this is similar to and as disappointing as The Maidens by Alex Michaelides.
