The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
4.0

Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated

Really enjoyed this dystopian tale which touches upon real world issues in a way that doesn’t feel like non-fiction but allows for  a sense of tension and  compassion for the characters.

The plot line is unlike anything I’ve ever read which I’ve really enjoyed  the layers of thought that have gone into the subtle details which makes everything feel very intentional.
