I found this book a little hard to get into, I had the physical book and I could ever really get into it. When I switched to audio, I did find that the narrator really made me want to continue reading it. I definitely feel like there probably should have been some trigger warnings on this book, the basic premise is that the women of the wayward line have daughters usually don't keep a husband and have an affinity for nature. It does seem that a lot of the men in their lives are toxic, which is kind of the first trigger warning. There is quite a bit of conversations about miscarriage or unaliving a fetus. So just some trigger warnings about birth and babies. Other than that I actually really liked this book, I didn't think I was going to cuz originally the paper copy booked didn't interest me at all. But, I did find that I did the story well written and thoughtful. I also really liked the characters and the generational story told between Altha, Violet, and Kate.
