this is obviously a 5 star book - but full disclosure I had zero fun reading it.

Did you expect to have fun reading a book about this subject matter? That’s like rating a comedy three stars because it wasn’t serious enough.
The is THE most accurate description of this book!
me toooooo! kuddos if you finished. I am STRUGGLING and torn between finishing because I'm 62% in and DNFing because I just can't !
Yes my thoughts exactly gave it 5 ⭐️ but doesn’t sit well with me at all!
Yes, exactly this!
Thank you! This is exactly how I feel but couldn’t come up with the words.
What about Pam? She was incredibly effective given she had to function around 1978 men. Maybe easier if one lived during the Ted Bundy's atrocities--rendering them not-news, no less infuriating, but secondary to the women's roles and experiences (and victories) here.
So… shouldn’t the rating be 5 stars, if it’s a 5 star book? Vs. you bringing the rating down because men annoy you.
I’m almost done with it and I agree with many of you, it was so hard to get through and at times I was going to give up. But I figured I’d challenge myself to finish it and now I have about 50 pages left.
I don’t understand this? Do you read to just have fun? Isn’t it about more than that? Did it move you? Did you find it interesting? Was it well written, did it open up rooms inside you you did not yet know or weren’t ready to enter before? Did it hurt, did it shake you, did it touch you in any way other than „it was zero fun reading it“? Give it five stars if it is a five star book.
Struggling. It’s kinda boring 😭
