I really liked the idea of this book. I mean, the dry humor in this book was drop dead gorgeous to read and the fact that it disses patriarchy the way it does was icing on the cake. Unfortunately, there were so many things about the character development that I didn’t enjoy and I was so pained because I would have loved to have loved it more
