There are parts of this book I really loved and others that just added nothing to the story. 

I wish there had been more focus on Hazel, Kitty, the Golden Girls - more insight to their lives, the struggle, the fight. The reader got glimpses, but at times it felt very surface level. Theirs were still the strongest chapters in the book though, keeping me absolutely riveted to the pages. The “present day” flashes - while needed to explain how this all “started” - felt like they added nothing at times.
