This book was life changing. The writing, the story, the characters: they were so engaging I couldn't put it down, I always craved more. It made me feel a thousand different emotions at once. 
The characters were not likable, but I don't think they were meant to be. There is a difference between characters who are supposed to be liked and characters who aren't, and the ones we have here are definitely in the second category. They aren't perfect - the exact opposite, actually - but I still like them, because they have DEPTH, which is exactly what I look for in a character. 
This book made me breath and choke at the same time and I loved every second of it. You feel free and anchored to it but you can't decide which you prefer - if you have a preference at all. The recipes were (ironically) the cherry on top. 

The only problem I encountered was, maybe, all the names. I remembered some of them but others were just too easily forgotten.

I didn’t love how the timeline of the narrative jumped around, however, watching these women feel empowered to take up space made up for it.
