I will say, the one thing this book did for me was open my eyes to how scary the future of reproductive rights is. I hadn't looked that deep or cared so much about reproductive rights until I read this book, so I will give it some props for that.
The story was nice, the characters were nice. There were some good moments throughout the book that I enjoyed. It wasn't exactly wowing, though. I'm sure there are other books that tackle the same topics as this one that do it much better than this one did. I just wasn't a huge fan of the author's writing style, so that probably isn't aiding my opinion on it.

TLDR; it was an okay book that at the least opened my eyes to the scary future of reproductive rights if things continue down the path they're on
