Very interesting and captivating book. Author does an excellent job of setting the scene and has a very unique ability of intertwining different characters storylines. Did have a few moments where I had to go back and reread things to ensure I was understanding things correctly but the connection between our 3 main characters, Altha, Violet & Kate was compelling and the ending really solidified how much I enjoyed this book. “The connections between and among women are the most feared, most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.”

Wanted to love this but I just didn't. I think I was expecting this to be more inspiring, introspective, similar to WILD but this book was a dud and pretty boring to me. I don't feel like the character developed the way she should have! I skimmed the last 100 pages tbh....watch the movie, the movie is better!
