This is one of those times where I struggle with star ratings. Butler is certainly a talented writer and there is definitely quality in this book in terms of characterization, pacing, dialogue, having a distinct point-of-view and lens, etc. Therefore, 1 star doesn't seem quite fair, right? But for me, 1 star means "did not like it" not "this is an unremitting piece of crap." Which it isn't but I sure did not like it. Butler put her talents to use creating a piece of work that has such a miserable worldview and condescending take on the human condition that every chapter was a painful experience. Ugh. I need a long, hot shower.
