Didn't enjoy at first but got increasingly engaged after the third chapter. As the book continues, the characters' lives become more interwoven and it gets more engaging. By the end I found it to be a compelling read, incredible how the characters' lives are woven together and a powerful way to illustrate the experiences of different women in the UK.
