I'm sorry I cannot. I tried really hard to get to the end because I don't like leaving books unfinished but this book unleashed an inhuman fury within me, that I cannot control. Jenny, you must be a man in disguise. And also, the booker needs to stop doing cheap drugs.

There are some issues. First, whenever a woman looks at Lucky, it is translated as competition, insecurity and contempt. Which is funny because I've looked at beautiful women out of awe and admiration, not competition. Some women so, but not all. That is a very, idk, written by a man thing, creating imaginary competition among women.
Second, Bonnie and Pavel. She was thirteen or so when she joined the gym, he was twenty-six. Even when she was thirty one and he forty four, it didn't sit right with me.
The prose was beautiful, and Bonnie's my favorite Blue.

Mason writes so beautifully, that sometimes I put down the book and just sigh. Also, this book did make me laugh, all the characters are ridiculously funny. I would read it again when my goldfish memory erases everything.

Han Kang is God. This book is the best thing I've read on ecofeminism.
