Very enjoyable, I didn’t want it to end. Listened to the audiobook, narration was great though that may not be the best medium for it.

I loved the premise of this novel, which follows four women who are among the first female class at Oxford and their unshakeable bond in the face of misogyny. All four characters are interesting in their own right. What I didn't love was all the inside baseball talk; Miller attended Oxford and a lot of the terms/language she uses is so specific to the school and it made me feel like an outsider who didn't fully understand what she was talking about.
