Frustrating almost the entire way through. But always compelling, and often incredibly poignant. The prose is magnetic and purposeful. It’s a genre I don’t normally read, and way too smart for me. I am tired of stories that use sexual violence as a catalyst in female characters’ lives, but there was so much more—as there always ought to be—to the lives of these women and what is being said with the story. Don’t let it put you off, if you usually feel that way too. I’m glad I read it.
