Slow burn. A unique intertwining of stories that urged me to continue reading. Some storylines stirred up deep thoughts, while others were more surface level/ less developed.

Overall a good reminder of the importance and long lasting impact that our own stories and those of others have on our lives, and that we all have a story to tell. I enjoyed how most of the storylines wrapped up nicely in the end. Though l'd also acknowledge the presence of the harm done by men in this book without any actual consequence and the expectation that women simply accept the lying, cheating, and manipulation.

I didn’t understand the view points were changing as I listened to the audio book so I got a little confused but ultimately it drew me in and interested me enough to push past my confusion.
