The timeline jumps back and forth between 2002, four months before now and now. The previous time periods explain how Grace has ended up in her current predicament. I found the frequent jumping back and forth to be a little confusing. I could not always keep the details straight and the some of the situations Grace found herself in seemed to be far fetched.
Readers who enjoyed Where'd You Go, Bernadette? and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine will likely enjoy this one too. I found myself feeling impatient with the chaos surrounding Grace whether it was warranted or not.
Be sure to check the trigger warnings before reading this one.
Thanks to the Macmillan Audio Influencer Program for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

I guess the author was trying to explore the importance of womanhood and all the nuances around being a strong woman.
