See allThis book is very strange. Not my cup of tea and I couldn't wait for it to be over, but in a weird way I appreciate it and am glad that I read it. After discussing and reflecting on it, I appreciate the layers and complexity even more, even though I'm frustrated that it feels like there's a lot I'm missing over my head.
Took a while to get to what seemed like the actual plot of the book, but then it got interesting. Unfortunately, it ended not too long after that, just as it was growing on me. The logic of the time travel was particularly hard to grasp, so I gave up trying to understand it and let go of my hope that we'd get an explanation for why Oona was subjected to it. Once I did that, it was entertaining.
Forced myself to make it half way but couldn't stomach the rest. Got sick of hearing about how all my problems are the patriarchy's fault. Least helpful self-help book I've ever (half) read.
3.5 stars. I liked it, was an interesting read for sure. Would have given it 4 stars but I thought the ending was strange/sloppy and some of the historical facts were wrong.
