“Sally.  Ruth.  Samira.  Janey.

They all have a story.  They all have a breaking point.  And they all have a husband to dispose of.”

Both heartbreaking and hilarious.

Each woman is in a unique situation of long term abuse and then on top of that COVID lockdowns exacerbates the issues.

Each of their stories were heartbreakingly sad and it perfectly shows why it isn’t so easy to find a way out of abusive relationships.

Although a very dark and tough subject, Alexia managed to make me laugh a lot and enjoy the touching moments of their healing, their friendships and their support for each other.  They are all likeable characters and I was rooting for them all.

The Authors Note made the subject come to life and will stay with me.  This book definitely did its job, it made me laugh, but also made me think.  Thank you @alexia.casale
