It's definitely not my usual style of book but was recommended by Bitch magazine (RIP). I can definitely see the ethical challenges it brought up, and the book even brought them up at the end -- but it felt like there was a shift in language from going along with Lena to her describing her life from afar. Maybe that was intentional, but it didn't work super well for me.
