I keep seeing this book outside of /lit/, it seems to be very popular. I've had it on my shelf for a year now, is it worth reading?

It’s a glimpse into the future. You could’ve avoided this if you voted for President Harris.

Are you a woman with a rape / forced impregnation fantasy perchance?

It's an interesting take on what happened in Iran decades ago made palatable to the western audience. But most women who mention it haven't read it or don't understand why what happens in the novels isn't a possibility for us. It doesn't help that Atwood herself is fueling the flames. Also yeah it's for a lot of women a kink a la 50 shades of grey.

It's fine. Genre slop but very over the top in an entertaining way. Hard to take seriously but a fun read despite the bleak topic
