A short but great book. While I adored the writing, I found the chapters too short for my preference.

3 dark tales of women told in the themes of motherhood, friendship, womanhood and mental health. Each of which ending in a thought provoking way.

A must read!

I enjoyed the premise of the story, three women in different times facing interconnecting challenges of bullying and manipulation. It’s a difficult story to review without revealing spoilers. However, it didn’t quite deliver for me in the end. The twists were not entirely believable or satisfying though the central murder plot was well done.
