Occasionally reading like an argumentative essay, this novel is highly educational and also maintains a strong narrative to pull you through. The author and narrator expertly convey the implicit and explicit misogyny and sexism suffered by our protagonist. My one gripe is I thought the ending detracted from the narrative of the protagonist. A must read.
