NB Personally disagreed with 90% of the protagonists’ thoughts & actions + her critiques of feminism, consent & cancel culture in a post me too era - but worth reading.

Original review 2022: I absolutely adored this book. I found the main character’s inner monologue enthralling and relevant. Originally when I finished, I had rated it 4 stars but upon reviewing I have increased that to 5. This hasn’t left my head in several days.
The ending felt a little rushed but I still found it fitting.

From that point, the last third of the book seemed almost like an entirely different book. The plot is rushed to a resolution and all of the complexity that was pain-stakingly developed is thrown out with the fire.
Sid and her partner, Vlad and his wife all work things out and everyone just carries on?? Most implausible of all, even dinosaur professors save to the cloud these days. Too neat and tidy.
