Reviews

"Readers will be revved up for the inevitable uprising . . . a suspenseful and timely read. Readers will look forward to the sequel."--Kirkus Reviews
"The story presents a clear, overt examination of gender and power, and it's a carefully constructed one, highlighting the complexities of a patriarchal system that is so ingrained and so absolute that even the most well-intentioned men and women unwittingly uphold it. . . . A timely, perceptive read, this will leave readers, especially those grappling with the implications of the #metoo era, anxious for the sequel."--BCCB
"This book has enough plot twists to give a reader whiplash."--Cosmopolitan, "Books You Won't Be Able To Put Down in 2019"
