emotional mysterious reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Truly unsure how I feel about the book. It's well written enough but given its feminist themes, it somehow made me feel less like a woman. Maybe that's just me being weird though.
