Oh, I wanted to give this a chance. I really, really did. I requested this book before I read other reviews, because I really needed to form my own opinion for myself.

I think this book has a promising premise, but it's execution is just... A huge question mark. There's a lot of context just missing, and every opportunity to lean into the social commentary regarding misogyny and the patriarch backfires so much so that I'm not even sure what the author's intention was meant to be.
