I watched the movies when I was young, but they bored me because I didn’t understand what was going on. I expected to hate the book too, but I absolutely loved it. The audiobook I listened to was amazing and I’m a huge fan now

People said stuff like “cozy fantasy” and “hallmark movie” about the book and I thought “yeah right, like a fantasy book could ever be cozy. It just doesn’t happen”

I was wrong.

This is the coziest book I think I’ve ever read. It’s such an easy read. It’s not a crazy hyperfixation book you love for months til the excitement fades and you realize it was kinda lame all along. Nope. It’s just a good, steady enjoyable read from start to finish. I enjoyed it the whole time, and know I’m gonna look back on it fondly for years.

I didn’t expect to like this at all! I consider myself a fiction reader and rarely like non-fiction, but wow. It was very interesting! I vaguely expected an angry feminist rant, but the points were well thought out.

I recommend it if you’re a woman who’s into reading, writing, or how gender plays a role in certain aspects of society.

The book starts with Virginia Woolf contemplating women and fiction. The first chapter was hard to get into, but the rest is interesting.
I recommend listening on audiobook (it’s around 4 hours long) if you struggle to read classic-literature like me.
