The best anti-feminist feminist book written about women by a man. That might not sound like a good thing, but it definitely is! I absolutely adored this book and will be recommending to literally everyone. Every single plot twist was cohesive and surprising and the ending, while mildly frustrating, was still generally satisfying.
I was sucked in from the first line, “Polly cut off hey hair in front of the mirror, feeling slightly guilty about not feeling very guilty about doing so.” I remained attentive until the last. It truly was a great book.
