not sure I am comfortable with how Dorothy overdosing solving everyone’s problems could be interpreted by someone in a similarly stressful situation

otherwise, a beautiful book

This book was so emotional and healing at the same time. The stories of these women throughout history and how they connect to the main character is so moving. Jamie Ford has such a wonderful writing style that moves you as a reader. I ugly cried at the end because it was perfect. I wish I could go back and reread this book for the first time again.

beautifully written book. an important reminder to have hope and give some grace to our past, present, and future self. there's a lot of bad in our world that continues to be passed down but don't forget that there's a lot of good that comes with it. i love some historical fiction mixed in with some hopes of the present and future.
