Can’t say I was a fan of it tbh. I was expecting more sensationalism, more emotion, more action. Instead, I got pages of pointless extended metaphors, plot lines that went nowhere, and a main character that I just couldn’t bring myself to care about. The story itself reeks of white woman feminism, surface level nonsense of “down with the patriarchy”. THIS is what all the fuss was about? THIS was the warning people were issuing about what life could be like under Trump? No wonder no one took it seriously. I wouldn’t and I don’t. Black people are virtually erased from the narrative. The only two we see are black women who work in the kitchen. So we essentially become domestic servants (aka slaves) in this narrative? That’s it? They couldn’t be more creative than that? Boring. It’s almost like black people and POCs were an afterthought which, again, makes the whole thing read like a white feminist manifesto. Two stars is generous.

Second time reading, wanted to return to this after finishing the TV show and before reading the Testaments for the first time. This story is very close to my heart and I see myself rereading it many times more.
Not a bad book but there was no reason for the Israel jump scare🙃
