This was such a roller coaster read!! The bond between the female characters and standing up the the male characters and the patriarchy was chef's kiss 👌✨ I think it was a good choice to read this as an audiobook, as the characters and situations just came to life! This would make a great drama series 😻 (The f-bomb is dropped quite a bit.)

Definitely a feminist piece and humorous.

Too much swearing/taking the Lord’s name in vain. There are some truly funny moments and love learning about the culture but just so tired of the excessive cussing. Definitely not healthy relationships either.
