4.5

this from the very beginning was a 5 star read. i had high expectations and was hooked instantly. passages were highlighted. sexuality and queerness and it’s power dynamics and feminism and gender are all topics i love. the frustration. i love all of it. but it leaves me with wanting more. i feel like it could’ve used a couple more pages. i don’t really know what is missing. but something is.
this book makes me so fucking sad. 
i feel this sadness is inescapable. 
feminist eve coerced into testifying for nathan.
i definitely know this book is not for everyone and know that it will be either hated or loved or even a sad confused medium.
