coris's review against another edition
4.0
There are two sides to this story. One is the whimsical fable, the story and MCs romping along and everything coming right at the end. The other is the heavy male gaze, and how every empowered woman is a bitch to be taken down, and unempowered women are prizes for the men to be won.
Yes, written in the Eighties, but still. I'd recommend it as a product of its time, rather than as a timeless classic, which with just a little more enlightenment, it really could have been.
