Even though I highly respect this work of literature, I have to mention some aspects that I did not quite enjoy.
Firstly, the character perspectives change all the time all of a sudden which can be quite confusing (love Six-Thirty’s pov though).
Secondly, the main plot is revealed right in the beginning (the first couple chapters) which was kind of off-putting.
Furthermore, I perceived Elizabeth as to perfect. She always seems strong and confident and unapproachable.
And lastly, it seems like the book wanted to pursue to many plots. One being the „women’s rights in science and work - plot“, another being the „mystery about Calvin Evans - plot“ and just another one being the „how to be a family - plot“. It just seems like the novel should include every possible trope.
To conclude, I recommend this book as an educational and revolutionary novel about the rise of feminism.
