It took me a bit to get into, but I liked it! I can totally see why everyone's obsessed with it, it just didn't scratch that same itch for me.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come and still how far we have to go in feminism and equality. It’s a well done novel of a strong uncompromising MFC. However my favorite character by far and I think why I enjoyed this novel so much is 6:30. He’s my fave.

This book was a fantastic read. Elizabeth’s not your classic heroine, but a heroine just the same. She champions women’s rights AND ABILITIES! The amount of misogyny and injustice she faces is horrific. She defies all the odds of ignorance, sexism, assault, and the overbearing underestimation of all those around her. She loves her child and is wildly independent whilst being simultaneously compassionate and logical. She champions women’s rights and civil rights all while making hearty dinners based on science, not taste. Beautifully written and wildly enjoyable.

The book is too long it’s very repetitive between allll the examples of sexism (which are important to the plot and tone but that many examples didn’t need to be included) and then the retelling of what happened to Calvin and to Elizabeth over and over for new characters that come in the pace is very slow because of this but picks up when the magazine gets involved it starts to really roll along after that it’s very very well written it’s fun to read it just needs more editing especially to be cut down
