informative fast-paced

2.75

I feel like I’m being a bit harsh with the 2,75 stars here, think of it as 3-. The subject of the book was really interesting and the facts presented were new to me and it changed the way I think about english as a language. I just really didn’t like the writing style. It felt painfully millenial-quirky-white-feminist core. 😭 I just hated it and it really made it go from a good 3,5 stars to 2,75. She also got some historical facts horrendously wrong and since I’m a history student I can’t let that pass. 🥲

I doubt these poems are bad, I just cannot read poetry. I never understand it, this low rating is completely on me.
