it was amazing

Fabulous. Great read. So much I could relate to, but also so much that I'd never thought about. I didn't agree with all of it, but I don't need to agree to grow and learn from an opinion. My only complaint is that it wasn't longer. I wanted more more more. Thumbs up.
Also, now I feel a little less conflicted about cranking up J Cole's 2014 Forest Hills Drive album (it's not the worst in terms of vulgarity, but it's got plenty that I have a problem with...yet it's so good). I see myself as more of a tricksy feminist, but yes, a feminist, nonetheless.

Hannah (Peevey) Way I love this review! Especially the part about still being able to grow and learn from an opinion or book you might not completely understand or agree with (also, love your Binti series). :)


Michael "Tricksy feminist" - great term!

Denise Billings I'm an oldster. What does tricksy mean?


Michael It's defined as "mischievous" on dictionary.com. I can't speak for the author, but when I heard the phrase "tricksy feminist" it reminded me of Anansi the "trickster" who undermines authority with mischievous ingenuity.
