5.0

The ending of this book was so infuriating but the more I thought about it, the more I realised that this is such a good depiction of misogyny. Some people will see the problems right in front of their face but still not be able to realise that they are an active part of the issue. 

Such an insightful book, I devoured it within a day. I already have a passion for translated fiction and this has definitely part of the reason why.
