"I was expecting a totally different book. It was good but not my thing. I did really really like the take on feminism that left me thinking. Len and Elizas’ relationship just wasn’t it for me unfortunately."

"I loved this take on feminism in a modern high school! I’ve never read a book that reflected my experiences in high school while challenging my views on feminism. This was an excellent, well written book that I enjoyed so much. "

"Liked the subtle romance, take on feminism and the asian rep ☺️"

"I didn’t expect myself to enjoy this book as much as I did. I loved the enemies to lovers aspect, even if the relationship did seem a little rushed and out of the blue. The only reason I rate it a bit lower is because I didn’t agree with some of the takes on feminism and I found it made the book less enjoyable. But still, a fun concept and I definitely think this book deserves a read!"

"All of these characters felt very real and the story really made me think about what it means to be a feminist."

"Loved the characters and fun story!"

"It was a very good read with a strong female mc. However, my reason for giving it four stars is something I found anyone I know personally who has read the book struggled with. The main character can be quite confusing. Often her intentions aren't clear. Which in some cases adds depth to the story, but it just constantly made me frustrated. Overall a good book, I would recommend if you like romance."

"This is an interesting concept, but poorly written. Feminism is a powerful concept to explore in literature, but this book cheapens it by throwing the word feminist into everything without stopping to analyze it. The main character is about as confused about her story and motives as the reader is, and the main love interest has very little personality at all. Maybe it gets great at the end, though. I only made it maybe 3/4."
