I loved the premise of the book, but I think the execution was lacking. It was clever in many ways, but I didn’t find myself connecting with the characters much and then I think the author went so far to drive home the point that she swung a little too far around
Graphic: Rape, Violence, and Sexual assault
Moderate: War
