Thank you to HarperCollins for this ARC and the opportunity to provide an unbiased review.
Unrated due to it being a memoir.
I really enjoyed the first part of this book butfound that the end started to feel very repetitive and like we were circling the same point which felt tedious. If it had ended perhaps 50-100 pages sooner it would have been a 4.5 - 5 star read. I also felt like, as a single straight woman who is dating, I started to feel hopeless about men. I think there are still good men out there, while still acknowledging that women suffer through and tolerate a lot of awful things.. All in all I did relate to the stories that were being told, and think it’s an important discussion to have.
The writing was beautiful and lyrical and some lines really stuck with me.
