Overall, I found Normal Women an engaging read that was mostly well-written. I enjoyed the tension of

Renata’s disappearance,

but found the resolution and ending really unsatisfying, almost unrealistic. 
The protagonist was likeable, but perhaps we were in her head too much and I wasn’t convinced sex work/ The Temple was the solution for her identity crisis or the cure for her resentment towards her husband. I wasn’t expecting the tame ending where they all lived happily after.
