Keep telling yourself that.America has changed. For women, it has changed for the worse.Ro, a single high-school teacher, is desperate to become a mother. But with IVF now illegal - along with abortion and other reproductive rights - parenthood looks increasingly unlikely for her. Her best friend Susan is trapped in a failing marriage with two children, her star student Mattie is unwillingly pregnant and Gin, an outcast offering other women natural remedies, has become the centre of a modern-day witch-hunt.With warmth, wit and ferocious inventiveness, Red Clocks shows us an all-too plausible near-future: like The Handmaid's Tale, it is a call to arms, set to become a modern classic.

Reading this book was an experience I thoroughly lost myself in. I got sucked in and didn't want to get out.

. The reading experience left me tying knots and webs all over the pages. It is fair to say I was never surprised, however I was pleased by the way the plots made sense and connected with one another. I disliked some of the characters but I feel like this was also sort of the intention of the author maybe? You can't understand everyone around you and I don't feel like we have to. In the end though everyone has their own things to go through and we never know what happens behind the "perfect" façade. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 5 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀? ⭐ This book greatly incorporates literary techniques in its writing and I felt pleased to spot them sometimes. I loved how fast paced and guiding the structure was and I was able to finish this within 2.5 days. I kinda wished some characters would've had more focus in the end but that is only a personal wish.
