3.0

I liked this book more than I thought I would based on the slow start. I had a hard time reaching the flow-state with this book. 

Though I rarely say this, this book needed to be longer. I liked the multiple plotlines it was juggling, I think it just needed more time to flesh out. Half the time it felt like the plot was created just as an excuse to post the short stories the women made.  Otherwise this was a lovely story about the differences in generations within immigrant families and encouraging women to find their voice. 

Also, if you are uncomfortable with erotic stories, they are clearly marked so you can just skip them and read for the plot. And apparently the only books I read this year have parent deaths, so tw if you are grieving.
