You know when you're just existing as a woman, and then a man comes up to inform you that you're doing it wrong? (Even though no one asked for his goddamn opinion about anything.) And THEN he insists you're actually a dog who's been barking at night and terrorizing the town?
Exhausting...am I right, ladies?
I had no idea what to expect going into this novel. I've read/enjoyed The Virgin Suicides, but I haven't seen The Crucible (comparisons to both were mentioned in the book description). I had a good time with it, though. It was short and sweet. I managed to listen to the audiobook in one day while doing some chores at home. It was hard to stop listening, because I really wanted to know what the hell was going on. I found it difficult to keep track of all the different characters, as there are five sisters, plus many other named characters who reappear throughout the book.
Olivia Vinall narrated the audiobook. She does an excellent job; her voice is clear and easy to understand.
Recommended for fellow readers of weird girl lit fic.
