Red Clocks by Leni Zumas
2.0

I so badly wanted to like this book, but it fell flat for me. Advertised as a modern "Handmaids Tale," which I love, I was excited to read this book. Red Clocks did not live up to the hype though. It started out slow and depressing, picked up briefly, and then slowed to a short and unfulfilling end. I tried to feel connected to the characters, but I felt the book was lacking that emotional pull. Overall it was just OK.
