Essentially, this book is "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" written so much better and more realistically. It's a treatise on bad men, womanhood, reality vs. fiction (acting vs. authenticity); it's a fantastic book about what it means to be a woman in a "man's world," about Irishness, about secrets, about finding peace in a world so loud.
