3.0

A fun tale of feminism and first years at university. So much of this story was eerily familiar, capturing perfectly the environment of some of my own times as a fresher, so I can't help but have a soft spot for it. Story-wise, things rumble along between a series of vignettes with three ongoing story threads which are resolved towards the end, so this probably isn't for you if you are looking for something more narrative focused. I liked the episodic nature of a lot of the action, how it felt more realistic in capturing university experiences, and while I haven't read the comics (I now intend to), I'm assuming this is also a throwback towards the original stories which inspired the book. Not entirely sure where I'd categorise this as a genre: it feels very YA, but at the same time, a lot of my enjoyment came out of how perfectly it captured finding new friends at university, so I'd be tempted to say this is the perfect book to go buy as you struggle through the first few weeks of being a fresher.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
