This was absolutely not my thing and I was so excited for it to end (cue the 2.75x speed). The audiobook was also slightly confusing because the stories all blended together and the only way I could tell if a new story had started was a change in narrator.
This was trying so hard to be feminist that it became trauma porn-y. Absolutely none of the stories stuck out to me except for The Wayside, and that's only because I was so excited to finish the book that I started to associate it with enjoyment.
