If you want a book that will gut you and then slowly put you back together this is it. This book is heartbreaking yet beautiful and informational. It is a little slow at times but just a great read I got past that in most places. All of the women in this book are vastly different but have such a beautifully intertwined story. Definitely check trigger warnings as there are some extremely tough parts, especially early in the book.
