Definitely not a casual/lighthearted read; weird in a good way, often uncomfortable, but in exactly the way that makes Atwood's books so gripping. It's interesting to read a feminist novel from the '60s, realizing how much and, at the same time, how little feminist thinking has changed.
Moderate: Eating disorder, Homophobia, and Alcohol
