This book is actually kind of hard to describe. It is narrated by two Scottish sisters in their early twenties who are both struggling to find their footing in the adult world. Free spirit Anthea is trying to decide who she truly is and who she wants to be, while image-conscious Imogen is trying to fit herself into the mold of the good corporate yes-woman. Both discover, like Iphis in Ovid’s sweet, gender-fluid fairy-tale, that they’re happiest leaving society’s [gendered] expectations behind and embracing their most authentic selves. The style of writing is a kind of lyrical stream of consciousness that verges on magical realism from time to time.  It has commentary on corporate greed, environmentalism, consumerism, sexism in the workplace, and, of course, gender roles. However, this book is never heavy. What makes it so good is that it’s so much fun. It’s funny, whimsical, and romantic… and the girls (and their new partners) definitely get the last laugh in the end. – Krishni Burns
