I was a little disappointed in the ending. I didn't feel like the villain really got what he deserved. But overall, I enjoyed the story. I thought the two separate lines were woven together really well.

The book was interesting and a bit predictable at times. I give it a 4/5 due to the misleading nature of the preview. The preview is presented as “fun” and “funny”, there is nothing fun about

rape and marital abuse

. Overall, I did enjoy the different mother/daughter relationships and the importance of friendship.

I loved the style of the story telling, I enjoy a non-linear plot, as well as multiple POVs, but I think the ending could have been better.
