The extremely graphic triggering part of the book doesn’t come in till like a third of the way through.
I liked the switching perspectives especially in the beginning. The chapters were short and there was a nice pace to the book. Toward the middle and end the chapters were long we and started to feel slow. The book was a bit predictable toward the end.
I did like the author’s writing style (although sometimes the dialogue got a bit cheesy) and would consider reading her future works.

It really is a feminist epic. And it made me want to be less scared of insects, although i haven't gotten very far with that yet.
You should be aware of the potentially triggering themes in this book though. R*pe, domestic violence, miscarriage and termination of pregnancy are strong plot points.
