I hate that I can't find it in myself to be mean because the book is certainly earnest and personal. But this is my issue with feminist lit of this kind, since it always tries to appeal to the broad concept of womanhood and apply it to others

This book is personal to me only in a way that it ignites the primordial fear of own artistic incompetence. Advanced lexis desperately trying to obstruct the fact that the text itself is as shallow as a puddle

Wouldn't pick this book on my own since I care neither for retellings nor "takes" on classical stories; have to read it for a college course. Real "I'm 13 and this is deep" vibe. This will not be fun
