I found the book a bit boring from the start. I don’t think the presentation of events in the story was engaging. If anything, all of the time jumps made it confusing and increased my apathy towards the characters simply because I couldn’t remember why I was supposed to care about them. The feminist take wasn’t invigorating or heartwarming, and it felt very dated and outmoded even when there were “self aware” bits of narration about white, cis feminism.
