    The first half of the book I devoured in one night. I felt like I was holding hand, sticking out of those pages and I couldn't had felt better.
    Little girl named Molly didn't want to get married, be a housewife and follow the rules that society imposed on her. Not minding rage on her mother's face, paying no attention to offenses she was receiving, Molly grew up being completely different from everyone else. Though she never doubted her superiority: she knew she was smarter, wiser, stronger, better. She was never ashamed of being herself - being a queer. Molly couldn’t comprehend where all that hatred to everything that is standing out of the crowd was coming from. She discovered her own sexuality without any fear, she couldn’t grasp the whole concept of racism, refusing to treat black people differently. She wore pants and claimed that she’d never get married. She fought the world for her own freedom, for her own path.
    The reason I got cold to this book is polygamy that Molly really believed in. Having sex with different people to discover yourself is one thing but dating multiply women just for fun or in order to escape boredom, or for whatever reason she had is something that repelled me in spite of myself. I believe in monogamy. I want to believe in monogamy and no matter how open minded I am (I was even okay with author to proclaim that incest is fine) but being involved in a relationship based on anything but love, that is something I can’t accept. Call me immature, childish, old fashioned but I don’t even want to understand the wonder of polygamy, that’s why Molly didn’t go though me all the way, as I like every personage to do in order to fall in love with the book.
