I’m not sure I’ve ever felt relief once I’ve finished a book before! This was a long, drawn out story that felt like it was never going to end. It follows the lives of Maxine, Judy, Kate & Pagan from their teenage years, through to their forty’s. It also follows Lili, who wants to know who her birth mother is. The story starts in the present and quickly moves to the past; the majority of the past storyline I found to be irrelevant to the concept of the actual story. The book is written in eleven parts but there is no real notion of who or when that part represents. There is no consistency to the timeline, it is all over the place and felt very chaotic. Fortunately, the answer to the question is revealed at the end and I will not be looking for book number 2 to read.
