I have conflicting thoughts about this novel and if I wasn't sitting at my desk I think I would tear it apart better than I currently can. 

On one hand I understood where the author was going with these topics. Discussions about autonomy, sex, feminism, tradwife-culture. You know, the works. Women are often in mentally abusive relationships with men who want to use them for their bodies. Etc, etc. Cool. Got it.

On the other, it didn't dive deep enough into any of these topics for me to feel satisfied. 200 pages of Doug being a true piece of shit for such a lame payoff. If you can even call the ending that. I didn't like how... Easy? The end felt.

Spoilers ahead. I assumed when Annie left the story was going to go in a completely different direction. I thougjt at that point she was going to take real control of her life and maybe start some sort of robot rebllion. But no. I thought, assumed, prayed, hoped, at some point she would break out of her matrix and kill Doug. Hurt him. Get him in trouble. But no.

He just.. Learns his ways? Allows her to go? And she walks off? WHAT? Girl, good for you I guess, but he didn't even deserve to get off that easy. Fuck that.
