The pacing is a bit off and the characters aren’t quite as memorable from each other but their stories kind of are. It’s a good book, even if not a well-written one. A lot of heart.

Just finished a chapter that pays lip service to the limitations of white feminism and how men are also affected by patriarchy. Looks like the writer suddenly went online and got scared of getting cancelled for ignoring these things. Did not add to the story in the least.

This book is infuriating in the same way that S1 of Mad Men was (same time period). And it’s just as good.

"“Examining thoughts and ideas that can impact your life is the whole point of reading, especially a book like this.” They are talking about 'The Feminine Mystique'.
No wonder people don't like reading or get so defensive and angry about their choices. Opening your mind means baring your soul.
