"Ohhhh a book about female rage! Sold."
I admire Laura Steven for always teaching her readers something about feminism without being obvious about it. Like, feminism is part of every day life.
This book was interesting, eerie and funny.
The title mismanaged my expectations. I expected the society to be a major part of the story, so I kept waiting for the actual story about the society to begin, and then suddenly it had already almost finished.
So, boys and girls, don't expect this book to be about a society, because it isn't, despite the title.
