i wanted to see more of the mum and kinda wished that eliza had a deeper conversation with her mum about feminism?? i really wanted to see the mum’s thoughts more because that would’ve definitely added to this story The book had really good themes on sexism, misogyny, and feminism and I think it gets the message across even if it isn't exactly the idea of feminism I have. Good idea, not so good execution.Eliza has to navigate high school once it’s out there. Her journey is one that goes from being shunned for what she did, to praised. Eliza was not my favorite character at the start, but she did grow on me. I loved the hero of the story and the more I found out about him the more I adored him.
