I rated it higher after reading the interview at the end and thinking of this as intended-a companion piece to “Talk To My Back.” The particular book is not paced well (drags in the first half) and feels repetitive just beyond the boundaries of tolerable. However, i like the illustrations and am truely facisnated by the choice and method of exploring the “other woman” in an honest and open way.
