4.0

The book was interesting and a bit predictable at times. I give it a 4/5 due to the misleading nature of the preview. The preview is presented as “fun” and “funny”, there is nothing fun about

rape and marital abuse

. Overall, I did enjoy the different mother/daughter relationships and the importance of friendship.

See trigger warnings - this is not a light beach read.

This one's for the girlies who were wretchedly mean to their moms for no reason as teenagers and feel guilty about it as adults. 

Major trigger warning for rape. The marketing for this book was absolute trash - the synopsis has little to do with the content and I would never describe this as a "beach read."
