I loved this book! It deals with so many dark, sad topics, but manages to do so with humor. The author injects levity at some of the oddest moments… but it works. What really comes through is the power of women’s friendships, even when the women are flawed, or oppressed, or sometimes not even very nice. This would make a great movie!
