Everyone was right about this book - I totally devoured it. I wish I hadn't accidentally spoiled a plot point for myself, but it was still such an enjoyable read. What an interesting study of the many ways misogyny presents in everyday life from both men and women.

Forever wishing I could read it again for the first time. Haven’t watched the show so I went in knowing nothing and am so happy I did. It deals with heavy topics, but in a way that’s slightly easier to digest. 
Could and will read again and again for years to come. 

Crying score: N/A
