Wow.
Great book, could be a massive eye opener for some people to see how messed up the world is for women. I generally wish the characters well even though they aren't real! Really great book, I felt I was there in Fern's mind.
The book had been slowly building to the climax, but then I felt the ending was kinda rushed. But still I really enjoyed it.
The list of all the things expected/happen to women in the last chapter was emotional, and powerful. And like Fern and Jessica we can make the world a better place!
(Lots of triggers so read list before reading!!)
