this is probably one where I'd be writing forever if I did a full review. I think it started off really strong but got a little lost midway through. it takes a turn that feels cheap and unnecessary to me. and in the end it felt like Sadie never really found agency, or maybe it was subtle and subdued when I wanted to hear her roar. It made her feel like less of a main character to me, which diluted the themes of the book. 

aside from that, some of the social commentary felt out of place for the 90s/early 2000s 
 and the book is a little snobby, which will repel some readers.

overall I enjoyed it. but it's heavier than I was expecting so you've been warned
