“To celebrate, we offer low-interest loans to the nameless kids who wander the town. I am filled to the brim with my own brand of philanthropy and consider writing a speech. Then I eat cheeses and crackers and watch television and eat strawberry preserves on toast.”
“Still, the women, they weep all the time. I’d shake them, but it’s not as if we’re deserted here. We all agreed to this.”

I really wanted to like this more. The writing is beautiful and the ending is powerful, but the story felt aimless and dragged out.

“Maybe the patriarchy is killing my brain cells... Because I sound like I have no self-confidence at all. I’m an awesome bitch.”
This is a book I wish I’d read growing up. Sex-positive and empowering.
