3.0

Weyward overall was an interesting story of women who barely knew each other with three intertwined lives. Though since it was three narrators, it took a long time for the story to build and was easy to forget details of each lead narrator's life. The second half of the book, in my opinion, is far stronger than the first.

Through telling the power of women, Weyward highlights a lot of the struggles of women which includes an almost excessive amount of violence against them (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse).
