"This book made me feel like I needed to take a shower afterward. Felt really gross to me."

"is it ok to say i yawned a few times while reading this? i was just pushing through to the end to see just how it all ends up for the main character and those around her. i wanted to really enjoy this because the premise was unlike anything i’ve read before. but the pacing dragged in the middle and i was tuned out for like 20% of the book.

the satire of influencer culture, performative femininity, and the fantasy of the “tradwife” lifestyle was interesting, but i wish those themes had been explored with more nuance. overall, it kept me turning the pages, but once i finished, i was left feeling underwhelmed rather than impressed. i can definitely see why it’s so divisive.

"Uncomfortable and addictive. That's what I would describe this book as. I don't even know what I should rate this book or what I liked and disliked. But one thing I am sure of is that I hated the ending and I guess that's the whole point and what the author specifically wanted. Now that I have finished the book I am thinking why did I even bother reading it but when I was reading the initial chapters and the middle part, it gave me the sense of reading something new and unique and brutal and I might love it but I didn't. I didn't. I don't think I would recommend this book as it's an intense ride you know not where it leads."
