The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
3.0
It’s a page turner and it is really entertaining... mostly. Wolitzer tried to put every single important issue and discourse in this book, which lead to its main problem: if you just graze everything, nothing is talked about in its depth or complexity. Maybe you get hungry for more information about feminism, bad business, flaws in education systems and so on. Or maybe you won’t. Than this book is hardly a source of knowledge about these topics.
Furthermore: the main character Greer is a 20year old wannabe - and for readers beyond this stage of life, her thoughts can be exhausting.
I liked The male character Cory though - he is a man beyond toxic masculinity which I always find charming ;)
It’s a good book - and it’s not. I liked to read it, and sometimes I didn’t engage. I’ll guess: contradictions belong to reading and life sometimes
