Oh wow. This book really talks about the power of a woman's body, of her beauty, and how that power can trap her. There are a few times, especially toward the end, where it goes into "just tell the entire point/moral" territory and that feels a bit disappointing after such an amazing book. But the journey is incredible. I kept telling lots of other people to read it as I was reading it so I would have someone to discuss with.
