Oh dear....I SO wanted to love this. I get the concept, and I dare say it accomplished what the author hoped. But it just doesn't work for me. I like fragmented novels, but it either needs to be fragments of a story OR fragments of a character. If it's fragments of many people's stories, I just can't find much to care about. Maybe she wanted me to care about feminism? But I already do. That's why I read the book. Gotta give me a little more. I've been looking forward to reading this for so long and got my expectations so high...kinda bummed about it, tbh.
