Pieces of this book I could feel in my bones, and the prose to match a feeling of descriptive beautiful relatability. It flips between drawing on the abstract concept of what it means to be a women and it’s surrounding effects & a dramatized focus on other groups of people that came off a bit more forced than other sections. Overall I believe it had some thoughtful moments while being a quick dramatic read.

I found that there were a lot of distressing moments in this novel, but having said that, the characters were so well written that I wanted to continue reading to the end. The final chapter was beautifully written, and the ending was very satisfying.
