[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hated it. Def not satire, with nothing to add to conversation. [b]It basically was an anti-feminist treatise -- [/b]all women are miserable, let's hate on the one who is the worst, and excuse all the slacker men. It was DCUM personified, frankly. [/quote]

Clearly you don’t understand satire. Lol[/quote]

HTH was that satire? I'll wait. (Just because it's marketed that way doesn't make it so.)

Also, interesting that the publisher has now changed the marketing. "A “tradwife” influencer, suddenly awakens in the brutal reality of 1855—where she must unravel whether this living nightmare is an elaborate hoax, a twisted reality show, or something far more sinister in this sensational debut." Everything after the dash is new. Probably because people are pissed off about the dumb ending. [/quote]

The AUTHOR wasn’t anti-feminist — only the character was, but the character certainly struggled with being anti-feminist.  She was jealous of her fellow classmates who chose not to be trad wives, but she would talk herself into believing she was righteous.  All of the commentary about anti-femininity was satire.

Why did the college roommate end up miserable and underemployed? Why did the woke producer fall for the moronic MAGA husband? Why did main character’s mom and sister call her horrible things? Why did the daughter not rescue her sisters sooner? Why did only the main character go to jail?

There was zero accountability for the men and every single woman was miserable and against each other.

You may think the author is a feminist, but she wrote an anti-feminist novel. And had nothing new to say — she just recreated the influencer model: let’s hate this woman.

She totally botched an amazing premise! [/quote]
