cmcahill's review against another edition

I started watching the television show and thought I would check out the book. The TV show is sometimes hard to watch, but reading about the losses some women face, is much more powerful and upsetting. For this reason, I abandoned the book.

Really enjoyed this. I know the storylines already from the tv show but something about seeing them written down and knowing the real women behind them made it a lot more real and emotional

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring sad medium-paced

I had no idea that the TV show was so true to life. I figured the writers probably made things way more dramatic than they really were, but it seems that, if anything, the show is probably playing things down, not up.
