4.0

While some of the thematic elements were a little heavy-handed at times, I felt like overall it was an appropriate amount of screaming "Down with the Patriarchy" until throats bled. And if that description was too visceral...you might not want to read this one. I had some spoilers from reviews when it came to the main love interest plots, but even still I found that part of the book enjoyable.
