What Members Thought
I had to go back and change my rating from 4 to 5 stars. My initial impression was that it was an imaginative and thoughtful dystopian future story for sure, but my thoughts keep returning to it. The irony and imagery throughout this commentary on the misogynistic world we live in, are super powerful. Especially fun to read on audio, because the narrator alternates voices and accents.

I read this book as part of Emma Watson's feminist book club "Our Shared Shelf". I was hesitant to give it two stars because I'm hoping that I'll like it better once I'm able to discuss it with others who've also read it. I was so excited to read this book. The premise behind it sounded so interesting. Obviously, I was disappointed. It was all over the place. It follows 5 different characters and I didn't have an emotional connection with any of them. Nothing seemed to really make too much sense

Brilliant concept but story lacked the engagement.
