5.0

These ladies of Brewster place feel so real. All the credit goes to Gloria Naylor for writing so descriptively. This is the first book to bring tears to my eyes this year. Even though these ladies go through hardships, this book also highlights the importance of strong female relationships, they had each other to get through hardships times. 

This book is an interconnected short story but they flow so well it almost feels like chapters. I look forward to watching the TV series.
