This is one of the first books I’ve read that had no plot but kept my interest. The story telling was interesting. I think it’s written in 3rd person but we were able to get 4 different perspectives. I really enjoyed all the women centered in this story. The mom was gripped by the patriarchy but her love for her daughters felt familiar. It was odd to me that the author made normally hard topics so casual but it made the story seem light/easy. Still, I really enjoyed the writing and loved how each of their personalities were able to shine on and off page. Again, there’s no real plot and the timeline is hard to keep up with but I loved the chaos.
