This book took me a long time to read because of how it is divided and each story is so different. I liked how the writing style switched to match each of the characters represented. It was always a great surprise when the characters intertwined with each other. Really appreciated the lgbt characters and how they were depicted. There were some stories that I enjoyed more than others, some I barely liked. However, including so many perspectives is what makes this book appealing. One of my favorite aspects in this book is how the flaws and mistakes of the women were written as it made them feel very humane. Overall a refreshing, fun, and emotional read that I recommend to other women in my life, however it is not a perfect read.
