3.0

A really wonderful,  if at times heavy handed story about stories and how women are lessened by the lack of representation. 

I felt the middle dragged quite a bit and there were lots of complex politics which I didn't really care about - in the end it was all recapped anyway so it didn't feel so bad that I'd not paid loads of attention. I would have loved to see more of Hester and Devon's relationship developing as that felt like it happened kind of quickly. 

also the bit st the end with the bag REALLY made me eye roll!


Overall a decent read!
