Hooked from the first line "I hate men". A very raw look into life as a woman, without being sugar-coated. It lets women be 'crazy', 'emotional', and every other thing we have been called at some point in our lives, because sometimes we are those things.
It was a difficult read as it deals heavily with sexual assault and rape, so the book wont be for everybody.
A negative I have is that it is a bit 'white feminism', so it would have been nice to have other perspectives on the issue, especially considering the book is set in London.
