It took me a bit to get into, but I liked it! I can totally see why everyone's obsessed with it, it just didn't scratch that same itch for me.

astrochoreo's review against another edition

3.5

I would have rated this book much higher if the writing style was better. My biggest pet peeve in fiction is when an author writes an everyone-POV with extremely messy POV shifts. This entire book felt like a stream of consciousness combination of every character, in a way that was very hard to follow and overall made reading this book not very enjoyable. Despite that, I feel the story itself was very beautiful and poignant. I wish that the book had been written in a more cohesive way so that the story could have been enjoyed more.

The book is too long it’s very repetitive between allll the examples of sexism (which are important to the plot and tone but that many examples didn’t need to be included) and then the retelling of what happened to Calvin and to Elizabeth over and over for new characters that come in the pace is very slow because of this but picks up when the magazine gets involved it starts to really roll along after that it’s very very well written it’s fun to read it just needs more editing especially to be cut down
