I loved the writing style and how the three characters' narratives were woven together. Each of the three women and their chapters had a distinctive voice. Alternating between each point of view made for an interesting story that I didn't want to put down. However, this book needs a lot of significant **content warnings** for graphic descriptions of: rape, domestic violence, abortion, and miscarriage. I almost didn't read it because of another review talking about how the book is all misery and violence against women. I would say that this is true as a dominant theme of the book - but there is also more to it.
Graphic: Domestic abuse, Miscarriage, Rape, Blood, Abortion, and Pregnancy
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts and Death of parent
