The girls that get it, get it. The girls who don't, don't.
I loved this book and really enjoyed being in the world, with these characters. But there will be many people who just won't get the appeal at all.
This book is for every woman who is underestimated, under valued, overlooked, told they are 'too loud or 'bossy' or 'brag too much' or need to 'tone it down'
The language is intelligent but not inaccessible. The main character is not perfect but she is compelling. The story has the main plot that is interesting but the main appeal for me was the interactions between the main characters.
If you liked Frankenstein but want it to be a tale of female rage rather than male incel ramblings this is the book for you!
