The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer

4.0

This book started off slow and kind of dragged in the middle, but the last third was amazing. I thought that a couple of the things were predictable and I was happy to discover that I was wrong:

Spoiler

both the letter and Kristen (the girl who can't read as well as them) turn up as a conflict between Zee and Greer and someone Cory sleeps with, respectively, just as any Chekov gun should, but not in the way that I thought they would.

I loved that the book ended with the Women's March, although the author does think that the bus ride only took 4.5 hours from DC to NYC.... That's how long it should have taken, but with traffic, it was more like 6 hours.

I need more books with feminist rage and the urge to do something is an underlying theme.
