So I definitely struggled in this book. I was going between 3.5-4 stars because the book started off really strong. I liked the premise of the story, these women who have gone thru trauma and found their community within each other to lean on. And then the second portion of the book with the Keeper guy. The magic system was really interesting and unique and kept me going. The themes of the book were very strong and thought provoking!!

My issues with the book though and why I toggled was ummm the filler parts. I felt like we got a lot of fluff with food and bouncing around through the doors. And I thought we would get more relationship between the girls and the love interest. But the love interest came and we were just in love. And we saw how she struggled with those feelings, considering her past but I wish we got more. And then we got to the climax and it was ok. But the ending thoughts were what did it for me! I loved the last few reflective  nuggets the author incorporated and the last little nugget of hope and how this is not your last chapter in this life!
