This book was WEIRD but in a good way. It has such an interesting post apocalypse scenario, with only women being killed off, so the challenges that the characters face are so out of the realm of imagination, which makes their odd behavior seem almost reasonable? Like genuinely I would probably go crazy in their shoes. Also I love that they put men into the position of woman, putting into perspective how women are viewed in society and their expectations. Anyway I love reading stories that push way out of the realm of reality, and I think this book did it well.
