Really interesting, must have been so confusing to write with everything going on but it threads well together.

It’s annoying and infuriating but purposefully and was great at showing the hypocrisy and real life attitudes that exist. 

I’m excited to read more about Kuang’s process in writing this!! 

—————
- like others, I was expecting it to be a little less “beach read / damatic” kind of thing at the end, but I think that choice (intentional or not) made it readable to a wide audience and gets people thinking
- according to Wikipedia, Kuang’s agent tried to encourage her to not publish this
- this is meant to be “zippy” satire and I agree! 
- I listened to this as an audiobook and apparently that was a good idea as others were unable to read it but could enjoy it as an audiobook (because the main character becomes so insufferable)

I think it’s a really good read, I’m glad it exists and I’m glad I’ve read it and i will be recommending it, but it’s still a 4* for me
