The synopsis for this book was so intriguing, and I was really hoping that I’d get swept up in a friendship-across-the-years story. Instead this felt really disjointed. I didn’t feel like I was experiencing the friendships - it was more like three separate stories of three women who were randomly in and out of each others lives. It also felt like there were a lot of Big Points being made, so it felt really heavy. The ending was a little strange and confusing - definitely more of an experimental contemporary novel than I was up for (maybe just not the right book for me).
