I thought this book would never end. Extremely disappointing as a book labeled as feminist, this book had the main character apologizing constantly even to someone trying to kill her at the very end. Mary went on and on about how unremarkable she was, how dumb she was, etc. the entire book so profusely and repetitively that it made up roughly 60% of the text rather than the plot taking that room. Oh, the plot…. No true justice at the end depressingly down on women, even the ending doesn’t make any of it better. If you want to be annoyed by horrible characters and constant self hatred and depressed by how willingly even women are to treat themselves horribly, go on and read it. Even to the very end, Mary drones on about how unnoticeable and unremarkable she is instead of learning from any part of the story and putting some self confidence in her mind. I’d go as far as to say the label of feminism is a blatant lie and all this story really did was waste my time.
