Everyone has been recommending this book, saying you can really relate to many characters as a woman in this society, but I didn’t feel it…

the characters were strangely likeable even though I didn’t agree with many of their actions or opinions.

At first I thought the book was really interesting. But in the end there were too many small things I didn’t like, especially about the main character. 
I understand that characters don’t need to be loveable for book to be good. 
But I felt like some things were left unexplained, not natural to the person, and some traits felt like they were forcibly pushed into a character.
