A review by thebabybookworm
The Women by Kristin Hannah

5.0

100000000/5 stars. This is my new favorite book ever. Kristin Hannah is a wizard. I have thought about this book everyday since reading it.

I was still hoping Ry would turn it around

but I am so happy with how Frankie's story ended. I cried so many times through this whole book. SO MUCH!
