I don't honestly feel like I have much today. The reviews for this seem to be quite split, but I don't think I have very many strong feelings. I think the way feminism, the way it was challenged in Eliza throughout the book and the relationships she had with the other female characters were great.
But I will admit, this wasn't my cup of tea.
I didn't really feel connected to any of the characters and to be honest, didn't seem much of the chemistry between Eliza and Len. Of course this book was going to be quite feminist focused, but considering it's also a romance I was expecting a bit more... well, romance. I understand attraction doesn't always make sense and can kind of just happen, but I didn't get why they liked eachother so much? I'm not sure, maybe it was just me, but overall I didn't mind this book. It just took me quite a while to get through.
