Feminine rage and politics!

This book is a perfect blend of the two, not to mention a love triangle in there as well.

I first heard about this book from the author's Tiktok page, which is very entertaining. After that it took a little bit for me to actually purchase and read the book. Now that I have finished reading it, I'm glad that I did. I don't say this very often about books, but this one is a new favorite of mine and I can't wait to read the second book!
