I was hooked on this book from the beginning - with the protagonist telling the story you get a great sense of the small world she's living in. A Feminists future nightmare, the story manages to relate to the present society in satirical terms. I love a story with a twist, and loved even more that I didn't see this one coming. Can't wait to read more by Louise O'Neill.

I couldn't put this book down! It was so disturbing yet beautiful, and the chills the book gave me.. wow. The end wasn't quite what I was hoping for, and I would like a bit more information, but it was a beautifully written book that I would definitely recommend ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
