Blue Ticket by Sophie Mackintosh

Strange feminist dystopia done very badly. The writing style - a sort of disjointed stream of consciousness was cool but the actual substance of this book? Nonsense honestly. Bland characters, zero character development, zero world building and an underwhelming ending

This just wasn’t for me and I decided I could live without knowing how it ended.

Enjoyed. Broke me out of my slump. Preferred water cure but still love author’s writing. Engaging.

A philosophical reflection on free will. I liked it. I wish we found out more about why and how the world came to be in the book. I wanted to know more about the characters back stories. But as a reflection on free will, it served it's purpose. Stayed up late to finish it. Would recommend for a short, thought-provoking read.
