An absolutely shocking plotline. The entire time I read the book, I couldn't help but picture the Duggars and their perspective on life and the role of women in the household. I was slightly disgusted at the fact that there are women that feel as though their only option is the path their father lays out for them. As I type this, my mother came in to ask which shoe matched her outfit better. In this society, who cares? You'll be married off anyway, whether your outfit looks nice, or like you pulled it out of the trash. You're a wholesome, wonderful girl who is only to take care of the household and your future husband and children. You don't have a place of worth or a meaning to do anything but take care of your family. Education and success is raising healthy babies. It's like the dark ages again.

But aside from my own personal opinions of the plot, the book was very unique and well written. It was a lovely read and really (obviously) made me think about things.
