It touched on so many parts of our society that we ignore; women's rights, how horribly men treat women/general misogyny, the objectification of women, feeling like an outsider in your own skin, and it even had a full scene where the main character gets lobotomised (which is terrifying considering it happened not even 60 years ago.).
One thing about this book I love with my heart and soul is how Mena and her friends truly care for and love each other. In the hell that is the academy, they are like a little family and lift each other up when one of them is down. THIS IS WHAT FEMINISM IS ALL ABOUT.
the last few chapters of this book had me like: "Yaaasssss bitch!!! GIRL POWER! STICK IT TO THE EVIL MEN WHO DID YOU WRONG!!!" π©ππ
Definitely one of the more challenging books I have read.
