agnes and becka should’ve been endgame :’(
that aside - this book was a huge pick me up from ‘the handmaid’s tale’ and im so glad that my friends convinced me to pick this up. it had all the strengths that come with an atwood novel but an added layer of motivation/catharsis that was absent in the first novel of the universe. it felt like the justice that was painfully absent within offred/june’s story was withheld so this story could land so firmly on its feet.
