I picked up this book because of the cover. It is so colorful and striking. The initial few chapters I liked, but once the story got into gear like turned into love. I didn't want this book to end. I was cheering for Geeta the entire time and wanted her to have the best. I loved each of the women and how dynamic, flawed, and faceted they were. They all felt real and the relationships felt real. The bonds of female friendship truly are lifesaving and I loved this depiction of the long road those friendships take.
