This is a book that hits you over the head with inequality without having to do any of the heavy lifting. It has no time for nuance or developing deep characters or fully realising feminist themes.
If you love exposition dumps, being told rather then shown and black & white plots then feel free to read.
The author is inspired by the Bloody Chamber and I would urge you to pick up Angela Carter's work instead.
