I had heard such great things about this book, maybe my expectations were too high. I found it melodramatic and too long.

I cant recommend this book enough. It’s an emotionally triggering, mess of turmoil. This book follows a “girl” struggling to get her father’s approval and just to hear him say “she’s a hero”. However, throughout The Women. Frances also known as Frankie becomes her true self and through many trial And tribulations she finds herself and through hardships she comes out the other side as a better person despite all her struggles. I felt like woman quotes and scenarios were so easily relatable and couldn’t put this book down.  Please check your trigger warnings if you are one who has them. Also, get tissues if you’re a crier.
