An interesting read I dived into an interesting time in the conversation about freedom of speech and the rights of women. At moments it hit a little close to home - I feel similarly about watching the TV adaption of The Handmaid’s Tale - but credit to the author for authentic world-building. And for once the romantic subplot didn’t annoy me!
