2.5

The American synopsis and cover for this book feel at the very least misleading.  I would not call this book laugh out loud funny.  The CW

rape

that happens is chapter 3 caught me very off guard considering what I was sold.
The first half of it dragged quite a bit, it was honestly the second half that kept it from getting a lower score.  The dog povs were always very jarring and the "feminism" of it felt flat.  I know a lot of people really loved this book but I wish it were being marketed better.  I don't think I was their target audience.

Liked this one a lot. Not much more I have to say about it other than I think it will translate well into a TV show.

I LOVED this book. It hits all my fears as a female scientist, but also my hopes. It makes me grateful I live now and not back then. Entertaining, emotional and fun.
