Book feral
But she longs to free herself from the shackles of conformity and find her real self Who is she under all the make up and glamour Who was the woman she would have been without being subjected to societal pressure I really enjoyed reading this All women can relate to the feminine urge of saying to no to the patriarchy My only criticism is that I wanted of this tale I loved Margot but maybe we ll see her again one day 59 Margot is fed up with society and the demands it places on her as a woman She decides to follow her own path An excellent story but I was expecting a bit from the ending 59 Review to come 59 What starts out as a woman rebelling against societal pressures about how women should look and behave quickly descends into absolute chaos.

The fox considering me no threat got bored watching me and sauntered off shadow trotting along the road beneath it I found I envied the creature s freedom and wondered where it slept at night Maybe if I saw it again I would follow it and it could teach me something about living Do you have a plan He asked calmly Not really But you were right Being there its killing me slowly from the inside out It s so fucking meaningless 5 5 Read this if you hate your job 59 I made a TT review about this one I loved it I felt all the emotions the need to go back to a primordial state the love for our instinct calling us from a remote inner place A short book with lots of depth written beautifully 59 Ultimately this is a tale of a woman who s had enough and decides to live true to herself On the surface Margot has it all a great boyfriend by her side who s loyal loving and accepts her as she a promising career and great wardrobe or does it Am I bias Did I think good for her several times maybe this was great Gemma has a fantastic story telling voice this was a quick horrifying visceral read as unnecessary as Margots concerns and worries were they were also relatable and thoughts I ve had myself I think there was a larger theme at play one of women reclaiming their power maybe we re all monsters underneath all the makeup and nice clothes or does society make us feel like one 59 Great short story really enjoyed it Love that book cover 59 4.

Feralheart Although it would seem natural to describe FERAL as a story of feminist rage its themes of freedom and nonconformity are much broader More than anything FERAL is a declaration of independence from the often nonsensical expectations that society places on people especially women.
