This is a book hard to review and to describe. I started reading this in February, and finished it in December. I wanted to read this slow and really take my time with it. There were ups and downs in this book. Some parts took me forever to get through, others were so interesting, I couldn't stop reading. All in all it's incredible how Aidan Chambers manages to write such real characters. I really feel like I've got to know Cordelia and Will and Arry and Julie and they are my friends.

Very informative. It gives insights into why liberal feminism is not what we need in our world and manages to put different sides and arguments against eachother before preaching which solution is best from an intersectional feminism point of view.
I found especially the chapters on sex workers and prison very interesting and eye-opening!
