I really wanted to love this book, but due to a personal reading preference that was not the case. The Opposite of Fate is a very slow, character-driven novel that shines a light on the topical issue of body autonomy. When a person is physically unable to make a decision about the future of their pregnancy, who gets to decide for them? What if the fetus they are pregnant with came from a violent attack that has left them indisposed? While this title is definitely thought-provoking, I was incredibly bored while reading it. I have finally come to terms with the fact that character-driven novels are just not for me.
