Absolutely beautifuly written, totally engaging, and highlights very well the sexism and criticism women faced at that time. I loved it and simply couldn’t put it down.

really heavy handed w the 2nd wave feminism, pretty depressing honestly - the happy ending and the dog were the best part

Fun, readable

Funny, charming, delightful. Possibly a little over-engineered, or “pat,” but it was a real page-turner for me. A smart female protagonist, a few loving supporters, and a sharpened pencil stabbing a sexual predator? Love it.
