I struggled to like this book. All three of the main characters have flaws which is the point I guess but their flaws are irritating. Hannah is self-righteous, Lissa has tunnel vision, Cate is careless and selfish. All these are perfectly acceptable flaws but I don't feel like the reasons they state are very relatable or delved in to particularly well. They all feel like quite flat characters. I will give the author credit that although I didn't find two of her characters relatable I was hooked by one of the stories which meant that I wanted to keep reading. Nothing much happened but the pacing was okay.

4.0

A really great exploration of feminism, motherhood, partnership and passion.
Even though Cate, Lissa and Hannah were each such complex and unique individuals, who couldn't have been any more different from me, I related to each one so much. I understood these women's struggles and truly loved every second I could spend in their presence.
