I enjoyed this book. The main character maybe isn't the most likeable (although I liked her), but she is funny and realistic and gets things done. Seeing her use what people think of her for her advantage was really cool. With the stories from her childhood you really get to see her whole life and it is satisfying to see it come full circle. It made me root for her.
I also really like how female centered this book was. The important relationships were all between Patience and other women, her mother, her daughters and then also her mother's nurse and the landlord.
