This was a snapshot of the lives of three very different women from the same family and I felt so immersed in their feelings and emotions and moments. You hope with them— I thought I knew how it was going to end but with every ounce they believed, I believed with them.
That being said, I felt like the book lost itself in the middle
For a 200 page book, I wish every chapter had felt more intentional but there were a few right before their trip to Boston that dragged. Overall, I enjoyed this book and would read an entire tome from Delores POV.

What fell flat for me was the actual plot of the story. It seemed to be a slice of several weeks out of the characters lives and the events of the novel had little impact on their lives after the fact. Their lives seem to continue as they always had previously. I can definitely understand the choices the author made that caused their lives to be minimally changed. I think the other outcome would've been too easy in a lot of ways, however, I hoped for a bit of character development through the process. The reader discovered aspects of the characters lives, but the characters didn't display growth themselves through the events of the novel.
