A really interesting concept and a very well-written book. I loved the prose in this, paragraphs drawing me into the action, making me want to keep reading. 

Some of the time-hopping, especially toward the end of the book felt a little choppy to me. I wasn’t quite sure when the events were happening or in what order. Still, it’s a good read with plenty of twists and turns as we follow the lives of these very different women.

Beautiful prose, thought-provoking, timely. I can see why this book has received so much praise, though it’s not a favorite for me. The spanning of generations is expertly done and I really appreciated that the author didn't moralize, but rather let the characters be themselves, flawed as they were. But the book started very slow and never really found a sense of urgency. And I always felt like I was kept at a distance from the characters--like I was inches away from *truly* knowing them (though that might have been intentional).

had no clue where the story would go (positive), and I loved seeing all the different perspectives, I only felt like the ending was a bit abrupt but otherwise great read
