This book was incredible. I love the authors writing style, read almost like poetry at points. I was hooked and loved how each story had some link to another, intertwining these women in small ways. 

This story is so smart. Incredible. 

I cried a few times throughout and would recommend reading trigger warnings however. It's pretty intense in parts.
