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!!!" 😩👌💖
Definitely one of the more challenging books I have read.

This book was gripping, disturbing, and painful in such an emotional way. It's going to take me a while to process it. It's heartbreaking and stunning and completely took me by surprise. My heart is still racing from the plot twists and chaos of this book. If you enjoyed the backstory of The Queen's Gambit (the orphanage and drug part) then you NEED to read this.
PG-13+ for language, violence, gore, and abuse. Trigger warning for emotional, physical, and slight sexual abuse
Moderate: Body shaming, Child abuse, Confinement, Drug use, Emotional abuse, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Medical content, and Medical trauma
Minor: Sexual assault
