Thanks to @houghtonmifflinharcourt for a #gifted ARC of #thecherryrobbers.
I’m usually good about calling it quits when I’m reading a book that’s not working for me. I’m a firm believer that there’s no reason to keep going with a book you’re not enjoying, and still I read all of

The premise of this book was really unique and not quite what was expecting. I enjoyed reading Iris’ point of view and was eager to keep reading to learn more about each sister and their fate. I was a bit disappointed that there was never an answer as to why each sister died but I guess that fits with the dark/ horror themes of the book. I really enjoyed the feminist tones of the book and discussion of the lives of women at the time and what was expected of them.

If I would have realized this was a feminist gothic book sooner, I wouldn't have slept on it. This novel was absolutely brilliant.
