I thought that this book was pretty good! At times, it was a bit slower that I would usually read, but I really enjoyed the overall themes and messages throughout. The ideas of the suffrage movement and including those words in the dictionary felt very empowering, however it sometimes felt unenthusiastic and too slow. Definitely a great read if you’re into historical and contemporary novels. It could have been better or the storyline could have been more developed, but was overall a pretty good read.
