Disappointed because it’s Atwood. Otherwise it would have been an okay book.

“How easily a hand becomes a fist.”
I was CHEERING for Agnes and Jade. 

Parts of me felt the rage and spite from Aunt Lydia DEEP in my core. 

If you’ve read handmaids tale you MUST read this. 

Lighting it ablaze from the inside with some help from the outside. ❤️‍🔥

Absolutely excellent!! I'll admit I didn't have high expectations for the sequel, especially with the Hulu series' popularity and cultural resurgence of The Handmaid's Tale. But Margaret Atwood's brilliance has not diminished at all. The Testaments is chilling and touching and provides unexpected character perspectives. A masterful work.

Excellent sequel. Much more intense than the Handmaid's Tale and features more graphically mentioned SA, su*cide attempts, and general abuse which can be a lot.

This book can be read without reading the Handmaid's Tale, but I recommend reading the books in order as they're better that way.
