I am feeling a little confused about how I felt about this book. It started off so strong and I was really enjoying it, but then it very quickly started to feel more like a young girl's fan fiction who was obsessed with 1984 as a teenager. I was not expecting such a spicy story and didn't think it was fully needed.
Everything also felt a bit longer than it needed to be, and I was coming to the end of each chapter thinking when is this going to end.
It was an interesting read for about 50%, but I would not call it a must read at all.

I wanted to like this a lot more than I did but I just…. didn’t like it.

Julia is a feminist retelling of George Orwell's 1984, told through Julia's point of view instead. I thought this was a really interesting take and I love the new rise of feminist perspectives that has risen in popularity lately. Although I don't think this is as good as 1984 it is a lot to live up for and Julia has its own 'charm' whilst keeping that chilling atmosphere. Overall I found this to bee an interesting book and well worth a read if you have read 1984.
