challenging dark informative reflective

5.0

this is the BEST book I've read so far this year and I want EVERYONE to read it!!

women being exhausted isn't an individual problem, but a systemic one. it's a tough read to get through, recognising the reasons for feeling exhausted all the time, but it's so worth it. we do need to change things and knowing all of these things -especially for men- is so important. 
and to any woman reading this: you are doing more than enough. take a break. you shouldn't be doing all of these things and be available all of the time

it's a great concept, but not really a great execution. there are too many povs and it gets confusing really fast, the characters feel very dull and flat and the overall commentary feels very surface level. the writing style also wasn't for me, but that's very subjective 

but maybe I'm just let down because I've had very high expectations.

I really enjoyed the political themes and the writing style! The summery atmosphere and the comments about racism and capitalism don't really make in into the movie

went in with too high expectations 
the title is brilliant and I loved the first few stories, but the rest couldn't hold up to my expectations
