This book is very well-written. I put off watching the movie until I could read the book. The internal monologue of Malorie was very annoying and almost made me DNF but the story itself prevailed and made me push through.

I think this was a great book but while reading the snippets about the pregnancies and the birthing scene I couldn’t stop thinking about how it was written by a man
