First 5 star book of the year. It’s such a well written book…but please do look up trigger warnings. This book was kind of hard to read in parts because of how infuriated I was given the way that the main character is treated by 90% of everyone else just because she’s a woman, and how similar it is to my lived experiences. I really enjoyed the latter half of the book because of steady character development and just….women are incredible. 10/10 would recommend.
