I get that Monique is still growing into herself but found her narration and character a little cliché. I always found myself annoyed when the story switched back to her.
The intertwining of their stories was interesting but didn’t affect me in some profound way. I was more moved by Evelyn’s singular account of her relationships. So, I’d recc for fun but it wasn’t life changing for me.
