emotional lighthearted reflective slow-paced

3.0

Some chapters completely caught my attention and were interesting, others fell flat. The last chapter felt like just a rant and rambling, mostly explaining how politicians are douchebags and pointing out all the horrible things Trump has done. Yes, she makes good points about feminism and the damaging things politicians have done/said and I don't disagree, but she completely lost me in the last chapter since it feels like there's just a bunch of random points she couldn't fit into the rest of the book. It feels like a "hey by the way here's some current political points I wanted to add in so my book is relevant right now" but I don't feel like it relates to the premise or the rest of the book. The end feels rushed and not refined so the author completely lost me. 

There probably should be some trigger warnings typical of someone discussing feminist ideals (brief mentions). 

Overall an interesting book, but it's more personal reflection and not really educational.
