cannot believe i finished this book. tells and never shows, plodding sentences with extremely simple structure, tiktok feminism galore. o'neill's concept of oppressors is infuriatingly simple and divorced from life - her men want to abuse women because they explicitly hate when women have power. how do you conceive of a book with overt, overdone marie antoinette parallels and write nothing ornate?
