The Women Could Fly by Megan Giddings

3.0

I honestly can’t put my finger on what I didn’t like about this novel, but towards the end, when she leaves to the island, everything went downhill from there. I loved the parallels of oppression on women to what is going on now within the world. Like this book holds up, dystopian wise so much so that it’s scary. But when it came to the island where she finally saw her mom, I was not liking it. Everything up til then, the speculation and the authoritative regime that she lived under, I was on the edge of my seat. However, the plot line revolving around her mother really lost me. I don’t understand the point of her father and sometimes who or what Jo really wanted.
