2.0

This book wasn't for me. I just felt that nothing happened and while I get that it showed how the roles of women changed through a pivotal time in our history, it was hard for me to relate to any of them. All five women had aspects which made them unlikeable and it was hard to root for any of them.

However, my biggest pet peeve with this book was the formatting. Some chapters were written in third person, others in first person. Each chapter was from a different perspective, which is fine, but there was literally no rhyme or reason to why the format changed throughout. It was distracting and took me away from the book.

This was just too long for nothing to really happen. My book club read it and some really enjoyed it, so clearly this was just me.
