You’re shown the “rules”, but you only see how they affect this one town. That is just a no from me, thank you.Īnd I was somewhat disappointed by the fact you don’t actually find out all that much about how the world works. And it certainly doesn’t help when half the book is slating men. Feminism is equality no matter the difference/the diversity in people. By erasing a gender, people are claiming this book explores gender neutrality and whatnot, but really…I don’t get it? At all. This book is not feminist for erasing men and therefore erasing gender differences. I wanted to see how Virginia Bergin thought the world would look without men. A world without men? What would that look like? The concept of this book intrigued me right from the start. *Thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

Until she met Mason, she thought they were extinct. It’s not so great if you’re a boy, but fourteen-year-old River wouldn’t know that. In two generations, the female population has grieved, pulled together and moved on, and life really is pretty good – if you’re a girl. Sixty years after a virus has wiped out almost all the men on the planet, things are pretty much just as you would imagine a world run by women might be: war has ended greed is not tolerated the ecological needs of the planet are always put first. That little extra boost when you managed to get just one more book in before a wrap up is SO satisfying!Īnyway, that’s not the point. How glad was I when I managed to squeeze this one last book in at the end of April? VERY.
