The life story of multiple women at different stages of their lives, as girls, as others.Told in the perspective of each person, their heat breaking stories of SA, domestic abuse and death, and heart warming stories of their first loves, last loves, being their authentic selves.

I really enjoyed this one, listening to it was a little confusing at first when I didn’t realise it was going through all the chapters of the same person before continuing onto the next thinking hmm didn’t she just say chapter 5, how are we at chapter 2 now. But that’s just me being distracted by my kids. The narrators voice was beautiful and so nice to listen to, I think she did the story justice. Overall it was a really enjoyable read, I don’t think I would have preferred the physically read it as the narrator added to the story.
