2.0
Honestly, the fiction in the selecetion doesn’t really stand up to the test of time. A lot of the concepts are overdone and it felt pretty monotonous reading through all of these. Additionally, there were only four total female authors out of the 50 proclaimed in the book. All in all, this just wasn’t that appealing to me. I give it a solid 2 stars.
