Give Me Your Hand by Megan Abbott
2.0
This book was recommended to me by someone who thought it related to my dissertation topic of women, bodies, and the uncanny. While the book doesn't really relate to my study subject (perhaps I didn't explain my topic well!), it did touch on topics of my interest. Women who face male prejudice, whose bodies are the focus of scrutiny, whose minds are doubted.
I don't read many thrillers like this and wouldn't say it's my favorite genre. The plot was sort of predictable. I appreciated the perspective of a protagonist trying to make it in STEM despite her economic disadvantages. I did want to know what would happen, but nothing felt that revolutionary.
A quick and easy read, but not as meaty and absorbing as I wanted.
