i read this book in 2 weeks and i was intrigued throughout the entirety of it. i really like how all of the women within the book are intertwined with one another, and the differences of them all. i love seeing how they have all been affected by the Personhood Amendment and how they all deal w their struggles

I listened to the audiobook but this version had music with it, which wasn’t bad but I’m not used to it and it felt a bit weird, distracting. 
I think I liked the story and characters overall but I struggled to get enthralled by it. Maybe things IRL got too close to this “what if” scenario for me to be like “wow imagine though!!”… I’d put this book in my TBR a few years ago, and it felt weird to get to it now. But still a good work overall.

Favorite quote from this book - “ She knew—it was her job as a teacher of history to know—how many horrors are legitimated in public daylight, against the will of most people.”
