I generally liked the plot of this and I liked that I couldn't predict everything that was going to happen but omg god it was so LONG AND SLOW. this book did not need to be so long 🙄

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Excellent book. One that kept me interested, which is especially good because of the length of the book. 

A sad story, one that made me feel glad to be a woman in this era, in this country.
