And it also shows how feminism evolves and changes from each decade. Female mentorshipįaith’s rise to become a figure in the feminist movement is intriguing. Something I did like was that while there are heavy topics, there’s plenty of comedic moments. And in fact, as the story goes on, I became more interested in Cory’s story - his arc could be its own book, which is odd since this novel’s promotion was so focused on female mentorship. While there is a connection between those narratives, it wasn’t enough to feel earned. This narrative style felt uneven to me and too much backstory about those characters without moving the plot along. While the beginning is heavy on Greer’s point of view, it eventually switches to Greer’s boyfriend Cory, her college roommate Zee to even at one point Faith’s perspective. But it slowly becomes apparent not all is what it seems when it comes to Faith. And Faith grants Greer this by hiring her after she graduates from college. Greer desperately wants to find a sense of purpose. When Greer hears feminist icon Faith Frank speak, her entire world expands. At the beginning of the novel, we meet Greer Kadetsky, a shy college freshman.
