As a starter, this was not my style of writing. The period references were too much on the nose for me, and just too many. 
I did like the mystery and Thea’s character development and the friendship, even if I didn’t like the characters themselves and I also didn’t care much for them.

The feminist narrative didn’t really feel authentic and too much of a projection on the characters. Even though the reference to Gloria Steinem gave it some weight, I didnt believe it and still cheered it on.
