I honestly just don't know what to think, this book was strange in many ways, I liked it because it is so weird in a lot of ways but I was annoyed at many of the plot developments. For starters the whole setup of the story that the main character was left alone by everybody is in my opinion just not believable given the strong feminist circles, especially on social media, that I would believe and hope would defend and help her after she gets blamed for the suicide of this man which is the whole base for the plot. I just do not think it would go down this way. There are several other things that I just don't find very believable, but then the book does stay on a thin line between realistic portrayal and a different fictitious society which makes it hard to tag along the ride sometimes. In the end, it was a weird but entertaining read that left me a bit like "What happened?".
