glad to have read it but i prefer the tv series😅 didn’t like the writing style. offred was not an interesting or reliable narrator. neither was to be expected. her descriptions of those around her were glaringly biased, but what is one to expect from a handmaid?/j some of her own thoughts were sexist, which i found interesting. some of luke’s words as well. the mom was wild. maura, janine, ofglen…

it was nice to step into the original gilead. no less frightening.
