The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
4.5
challenging dark emotional hopeful sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is just such a dark, bleak story. It seems apropos here in 2025, and as a husband father, it's a terrifying read. 
You want the best for Offred, but what are the odds against such an evil regime? 
These poor girls just have to try to make it through a life of servitude and emptiness. They're nothing but a vessel. 

Just a scary look at a life that, let's hope, never comes to fruition.
