5.0

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.

16th June 2022:

What can I say about this book except that it was absolutely amazing. Surprising twist kept coming up and till the last minute I was at the edge of my seat. I had a bloody good time.

Polly, the main character was relatable and just amazing. I loved her. Her and all the cast. They had so much personality. 

The themes were very well displayed and talked about and that's not something I expect at all. I loved it. Especially the talk about loyalty to country. 

This was a full on ride that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Final rating: 4.5/5.0
