I never wanted this book to end, and it's absolutely haunted my thoughts since I started reading it (in a good way). So much to chew on. But the actual plot itself is a leetleeee iffy—after the book spends so much time establishing the stakes, it's difficult to accept that all the ills of society can be remedied with a single heist. (Note: Careful phrasing here to avoid spoilers haha.) Basically, the world-building was so great that the actions within that world no longer felt believable. 😅
But would I let Naomi Alderman muse about the ills of the world to me for six billion more hours? Absolutely.

Not only was the concept of this book fascinating, Naomi Alderman’s storytelling is incredible. A must-read book!
