I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why people love this book as much as they do. I couldn't stand any of it. All it was was three generations of trauma at the hands of men wrapped up in a little "we're so strange haha" bubble. They WERE strange and had every right to say it, I'll give them that, but the way the entire book is written and the contents of the book had me hating almost every second from about halfway through.
The only reason I'm giving this 2.25 stars is that the author is very good at descriptive writing, and I enjoyed those parts(especially the food), and the last 20-30 pages were really nice. I even didn't dislike the ending as much as I thought I would.
Even with these things, I couldn't make myself like it anymore thank that.
