Really wanted to hate this book. The women are awful, and I hate when women mistrust each other and go out of there ways to treat each other down. The patriarchy makes it hard enough to live, and we should be building a better world for other women together, so it was really easy to hate these “best friends,” but I have to about the multilayered storied approach worked and was clever enough for me to keep reading, and I really dislike myself at this moment for it.

I really enjoyed this storytelling, and I was definitely kept guessing quite a few times during the story. I think the complicated friendship relationship was really interesting, and the kind of "mixed media" style kept the reader really paying attention.
