challenging informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

this is a good jumping off point in my opinion if you want your feminism to be more intersectional. other cultures have other traditions and ways they inadvertently oppress girls and women. this book can open your eyes to the world beyond white feminism.

i almost forgot how much i enjoyed coyle's sense of humor. it's witty. this was dry yet unserious at the same time yet i also recognize that tiny bit of angst. this probably makes no sense but i've watched a lot of tv...

this was whimsical. this was poetry. no, i mean that literally, this was a poem.

here's how i see it: this should be given to anyone that has ever complained about a retelling or fanfiction. the existance of a retelling or a fanfic. the fact that they go against canon when that's the point.

you take a piece of art and you turn into something you want or need to see.

 I wanted to cry at some places. Not even the sad places but after she meets her husband because the whole thing plays out like a film where he's a little overwhelmed by her world but he sees the good in her and there's so much good in Ms. Pat. It's like watching a sitcom for 10 seasons and finally seeing the lead win without the other shoe dropping. The first half of this book is sad in a "she was a kid who deserved better" but it's this weird double edged sword because you can teach a child better but there's always outside influences at bay but she made it through and become my favorite comedian and the star of my favorite sitcom The Ms Pat Show
