I loved how Poor Things ended with Bella’s letter. That was what really did it for me as this book felt mostly sexist but then feminist with that letter. Disturbing and weird, I could not put it down. I also love that the film adaptation didn’t necessarily follow the book letting me enjoy both pieces.
