The rich character descriptions and intersecting timelines make Girl, Woman, Other a sensational read. Emotionally challenging themes are present throughout each character’s journey towards self-actualization in their respective environments. I found the casual, conversationalist style of writing to be thought provoking yet digestible, and interesting.
