I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman: Limited to reach its fullest potential 4🌟

This book pretty much reminds me of another book titled What Good Girls Do by Jonathan Butcher aaand that book pretty much is way better than this, because if you think about this idea enough, this is just SAD, so SAD and DEPRESSING and most importantly SAD, but i feel like there are some limiting factors that could made this book reach its fullest potential because the situation that the main character is placed in is probably as worse than what the main character in What Good Girls Do have to endure in her life but the fact that the men in here just...doesn't make sense at all is very limiting for the novel itself because them LITERALLY not doing anything except for 'intervening when the offhand chance that someone gets violent' is a clear indication that the author doesn't want to explore the themes of violence and insanity in which when one is put into this situation WOULD DEFINITELY have violent or insane tendencies but Nopppppp this book doesn't engage with those topics.

Plus her vocabulary and reading and writing skills are just suspiciously unrealistic because...girl do you have the damn thesaurus downloaded in your mind because girl i feel like someone who has been held captive in her entire life living without even knowing what's in the outside world WOULDN'T have such deep ✊✊😀, SO DEEP understanding of everything like that one philosopher that everyone knows (you can fill that in with whatever philosopher you know).

and wow... This book seems to be PRETTTTTTTTY conservative when it comes to the discussions all about sexuality, religion, gender, being a woman, and relationships (hmmmmmmm is this perchance have a slight indication of propaganda¿¿¿ HMMMMMM?) i mean we all love feminist literature slay 💅 but this one pretty much screams conservative propaganda because one surprising thing is that somehow gays doesn't exist here because one thing that i learned from Rural Decay by Jason Nickley is that when someone is put in a situation that is predominantly unhealthy, unhealthy connections and habits like this one 😍😍🥰 can form (ie. Fall in love with someone who you most definitely not) because all of the women in here are SURPRISINGLY AND SUSPICIOUSLY still pretty much decent human beings ://////////////// in which the reason why i said What Good Girls Do by Jonathan Butcher is so much better is because that book has NO LIMITS on what the case of the human mind can form to when put in these distressing situations.

One last thing is that this book mostly lacks the explanations and the answers to the real questions the reader might ask when reading this book. Nothing makes sense when you think about world building and there wasn't just.... There was no resolution :// no ending that would conclude this interesting dystopian world.. which pretty much just makes the entire thing rushed.
