This book was very difficult to get through. Major trigger warning for anyone interested in reading. I included all the triggers I could think of but it's possible I forgot some. But that's the author's goal so I can't really fault her. If you think you're mentally prepared for this, I 100% recommend this book. If you aren't, I would tell you to read something else.

This book honestly reminds me of a ABC Family Drama Series squeezed into less than 300 pages. It was really good, but it was also difficult keeping up with all the characters in the book. All the women were similar to one another and it was hard to keep up with which children went to each mother and who was married to who. Also the ending kind of confused me because it came right out of nowhere. But overall, I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a quick, but thoughtful read.
