I have never cried over a book before. Such an enthralling and devastating love story. I am not usually one for history, but the pacing of the story and the historical details blend perfectly. Definitely recommended to everyone.

This is a quick read, and I definitely didn't take a liking to any of the characters. Perfect example of an unreliable narrator. A bit confusing or tedious at few points, but other than that the book was sort of good. I was shocked when I realised it was likely based on true events.

Men Who Hate Women by Laura Bates

challenging dark informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

It's scary being a woman in today's society. It's downright terrifying to see all of the facts and statistics written down in front of you.

Laura Bates put an immense amount of work into this book and, although disturbing, it is a masterpiece. This book has definitely changed me as a person, as well as my outlook on life.
