there’s so much to say and conflicting thoughts which feels like the whole point of the novel. delving into the hypocrisy of the human psyche is not a pretty, palatable sight, it’s uncomfortable and polarising. yes theres misogyny in the book but… there is everywhere in everything, to severely berate the author for discussing implicit misogyny openly sort of proves her point further. structurally this book was odd with the ending feeling rushed but i’m just glad it exists. 
cis authors write whatever they want however they want, whether it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’. why can’t everyone else?
