Neon Genesis Evangelion meets The Handmaiden's Tale!
I loved this book!! It had a lot of social commentary about Chinese culture, sexism, and elitism.
I went into this book without knowing that much about it and I would recommend others do the same, it was so fun to uncover the story.
Lots of rep and the romance was so sweet.
I will say, for a book that reads very feminist, the main character was lacking female friendships. I hope we see that develop in the story.
