I’m torn because this was well-written and discusses some interesting stuff, but also it doesn’t seem to say much at all other than some women are sad and desperately need to work on their own issues, but choose to make it everyone else’s problem instead. I didn’t feel like I gained anything of value in this book, and instead just spent time with a bunch of miserable, selfish people for a while. :/
