Great writing, but not my cup of tea. The characters IMO are not very likable. Moderate description of sexual content. The content is for a column on a new website. This is ran by a group of "just starting" magazine interns and new writers.

A pageturner. It's a 'girl-in-the-city' book, but it touches upon many topics relevant for young millennial women. It's about modern feminism, the murkiness of relationships in all forms (workplace, family, friends, authority), privilege and the performative and abusive aspect of some forms of this modern feminism that is advertised to us. The inclusion of Harri's perspective shows that this is not a new thing.
The book doesn't really resolve any of these questions, and I was not really satisfied with the conclusion of the abusive workplace storyline.
