I think it’s best not to say too much, as I think the journey I took with the characters in their chapters was the best part of this book. What’s important (and not too revealing) to know is that these complex women have lives that bring them together in the end. And there is something beautiful in how Frances Cha has done this. The women aren’t perfect, and there are ideas I would challenge, but that’s what makes this book so real.
If you have experienced what it is like to live as a woman in society, this book will strike a chord.

If surgery makes you queasy, be prepared for some stomach-turning scenes, and whorephobia is something to watch out for as well.
