It managed to be both a dark comedy and a harrowing story of domestic violence during lockdown and what survivors go through.
The characters are well developed and multifaceted, and so, so strong! The strength, love, and friendship these women give each other feels so genuine and heart warming.
The writing is absolutely beautiful, both hilarious, gut wrenching, tense and thrilling when it needed to be. The author remained sensitive to the various cultures she portrayed outside her own lived experience and sensitive to the topic of DV.
