This books depiction of feminine rage as well as expansive love was one of the most satisfying I’ve ever read. While the world is very sexist, the MC desire and ability to tear it all down and “be the nightmare” makes it incredibly cathartic. The romantic relationships formed are also excellent and supportive in a way I don’t usually see as complexly in YA.
