merissalee's review against another edition

I really enjoyed the first part of the book, but as it moved into an experience of middle school and high school

and started to focus on the tenseness of bullying and self harm thoughts

,  it became too dark for me to enjoy.

This novel has Atwood’s signature beautiful prose and lovely recurring imagery. Like many of her other books, the protagonist is angry at a lot of things, mostly other women. Probably 250 pages too long.
