Her journey reflects the struggle for individuality and the quest for security. Millie's experiences, particularly her involvement in the Brexit campaign, shed light on the challenges faced by young individuals in a rapidly changing world. The author effectively captures Millie's determination to build a life that aligns with her desires for freedom and security, making her a relatable and inspiring character.

In conclusion, "Creative Destruction" is a thought-provoking read that sheds light on the complexities of human behavior and the impact of power dynamics. The book prompts readers to question the current system, consider alternative approaches, and engage in meaningful dialogues about the future of our society.
Some character descriptions can be more vivid and atmospheric. I think more sensory details and unique descriptive features would help the reader to visualize and distinguish the characters more clearly.

I rate the book three stars out of five because of some grammatical mistakes.
