I wanted to love this. As a hetero cis woman, I felt a responsibility to follow this through. I tried. I usually read fantasy as an escape from reality, I want to read nothing political. But I know I can’t just stick my head in the sand, these are important lessons and truths being told in the book. So I pushed through and kept on. 
I just kept finding myself being bored, finding other things to do to just not read. It felt like it was written for young adult, but being told from a POV of middle age women? I’m a child free by choice 30-something woman so the mothering aspect also, did not appeal to me. 
I loved the world building, I wanted to dive further into this world that Juno Dawson created. 
I’m an adamant believer in DNFing books and not having regrets or guilt because life is to short to read books you don’t care for. But because of the very important message this book is sharing, this DNF weighs heavily.
