Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez

Did not finish book.

Originally bought it for a friend, turns out they already had a copy of the book so I thought I'd read it myself but can't bring myself to actually read it

Only ducting .25 points because of the predictable ending, everything else was top tier, a great comfort book, would recommend :)

This is not your typical 4/5 review from me, because my relationship with this book is actually quite complex: I wasn't looking forward to pick it back up and wanted to be done with it as soon as I could but in the meantime I couldn't stop myself from turning each page and wanting to know more and more. This is definitely a Sally Rooney book.
