At times hard to follow with characters merging, but many beautiful moments - Serena and Frankie’s experiences in particular.
Very complex characters with complicated reactions to the trauma they face.
Tragic and bleak, but with bright beams of light and hope fighting through.
“So much of being a mother was coping with the long spouts of boredom that were punctuated by seconds of ache so pure they could shatter your rib cage if you weren’t breathing right”

OCT 2020: 7-8 months later and I still *feel* this story in my body. Not all of it, but a few of the moments linger and draw a physical reaction when I think of them.

Wisel’s writing style is out of the norm for what I usually read, but it’s so gripping. Everything felt very punctuated. Loved this emotional departure from the typical.

4.5, some parts were a bit hard to follow but I felt for these four girls and it’s crazy how the relationships in our lives transform every other aspect of our lives
