I’m not really sure what to think about this one. Most of all, I would say it was very stagnant. It was fascinating, yet horrible learning the details of the industry, but I felt nothing else towards this book. I think the pacing was a little off, especially the strike, which I wish was more explored, since it lasted all of two chapters. I did like how childish the main character was because she literally was a child. She doesn’t take anything seriously, and it really puts in perspective how young a lot of the girls were.
