So many “yess!!!” moments. Aja has changed how I fundamentally think about fast fashion and the power of the individual to enact change.

I’ve read part 1 and very tempted to DNF. I was hoping this book would be insightful & informative, but thus far the style of writing is off-putting. It’s often patronising & repetitive, with some concepts/ideas overly explained. The most interesting parts so far have been from quotes by other authors, of which there are many. Very tedious to read, hoping part 2 might be better.
