erinkellyreads's review against another edition
I really wanted to like this book, as the topic is really interesting and something I'd love to dive into more. I think the two things that made this a DNF for me were:
1. The author reads the book, and her inflection is sooooo monotonous that it made it really hard to stay engaged. It was not conversational at all. I even put it on 1.25x speed to try and see if that helped.
2. I think that there are lots of people who would love and resonate with this book in their feminist journey. I think, for me, I'm a little past this point, and it felt a little too much like preaching to the choir.
I do think that others should pick it up if it sounds interesting to them, but maybe the physical copy.
