Women of Good Fortune by Sophie Wan
3.0
What first drew me into this book was the “heist” plot line hinted at in the synopsis, but ultimately, I stayed for the heart.
Women of Good Fortune is a heartfelt story about relationships and the toll life can take on people as they age more so than the heist. I loved that! Folks don’t talk enough about how friendships ebb and flow over time. One line said something like “when passion fizzles to responsibility,” and it is evident that every single character in this book is fighting that to some degree. I also really enjoyed how the cultural expectations drove the decision making and drama in this book.
In the end though, the book was just ok. I wasn’t ditching sleep for it, but I did have some fun and laugh with the characters! The audio narration is awesome as well!
