I really enjoyed this book. I found it very engaging yet times I had to step away for my own health. Atwood really nailed the setting and unfortunately still relatable in 2022. Months later, I still find myself talking about the book. I also realized after watching her doc that all elements of Gilead have happened in cultures around the world.
