adventurous emotional funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Really witty dialogue, pacing, great characters, a strong feminist message. I didn’t love it as much as Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (my previous read from the same author) but loved it as a fresh take and a new perspective on the idea of political scandal and how women are often blamed for powerful men’s mistakes.

Minor: Suicidal thoughts

Unequal power dynamic in a sexual relationship (male boss having affair with female junior staff member) which leaves the woman exposed to public humiliation and bullying.
