An absolutely arresting collection of short stories that speak about the emotional termoil of being a woman and transitioning from child to adult. The women in these stories were messy, complicated, reserved and completely relatable. The audiobook is beautifully read too. 
Content notes for drowning, teenage pregnancy and miscarriage.
