I’ve been racking my brain, searching for just what I can say about this book. As harsh as it may sound, what I’ve landed on is that it feels rather pointless. I love family drama, class drama, character driven “come-to-Jesus” reckonings. But this just missed the mark. While there were  small moments throughout where I truly thought these women had reflected, had grown—at the end of the book I felt like nothing had truly changed. Reviews are truly so subjective. If you like multi-POV stories with wild family dynamics and unreliable narrators this could be the book for you. It’s just not for me. I do have to say, the narrator for this audio book really brought these characters to life and gave them full dimension through her voice. If I were reading the print or ebook I think I might have DNFed.
