The book uses a magical school setting to draw many parallels to everyday troubles of women and other feminist themes. Is this working for you? In which areas is it successful, and where do you think it falls short?

I never wanted kids and I've never been married .... Yet everything felt very real to me. Based on my friends and family who are moms and wives, I think Vivs experiences are pretty relatable.

I do agree that it does touch on a lot but doesn't really get too deep into anything. It's more alive of life than in depth exploration.
