Just realized why the punctuation in title

This YA distopia was a page turner. I liked that this takes place in a future society that has moved backwards in technology, unlike most dystopian novels. I didn't really find the likelihood of it believable though, especially with women being so oppressed. The special abilities the women possess represent our own abilities and the power we have and are responsible for using wisely, both men and women.

Let me give you an exact recipe of how this book was written:

1 cup stereotypical feminist ideology
1/2 cup recycled dialogue
2 tsp unintentional innuendos
8 tbsp plot tropes
1/2 tbsp inconsistent POVs

Throw haphazardly into a notebook or Word document. Scribble lines or pound keyboard until words begin to appear. Make sure all characters fit no unique characteristics and fit at least one YA stereotype or trope. Half-bake at 150 degrees, then chill, crack open, heat up, and plate sludge. Serves 0.
