This book needed lots of CONTENT WARNINGS at the beginning. It was especially upsetting to me that the author uses , and if I had known that, I wouldn't have read it. It really seems like the author is using it as a way to link the characters, make things hard for them, and create drama. It wasn't handled with care and trauma-recovery in mind.

manicake's review

2.5

I am sick and tired of the “women must survive horrible trauma from men to be a fully realised and whole woman”. I barely got any sense of plot from these women other than being survivors and being able to give birth.

The inter generational parallels is nice, but

the women don’t seem to have much plot or personality beyond their trauma from men. I understand that’s the point, but it made it very repetitive and reduced the women to their relationships and trauma
