Did I enjoy this book? I loved this book! This was such a great read! This reminded me of The Handmaid’s Tale but with a more modern/realistic setting. This book was well written, believable, and horrifying all at the same time. The ending was a little too neat for my liking, and I would have liked the book to be a little longer. Overall, this was a great book.

 

 

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! Actually, I’ve already recommended it and had others come back to me with rave reviews of the book! Go read this book!

About the book – from Goodreads: Set in an America where half the population has been silenced, VOX is the harrowing, unforgettable story of what one woman will do to protect herself and her daughter.

On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than 100 words daily, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial—this can’t happen here. Not in America. Not to her.

This is just the beginning.

Soon women can no longer hold jobs. Girls are no longer taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words a day, but now women only have one hundred to make themselves heard.

But this is not the end.

For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.
