4.5

Nothing revolutionary in how various topics are handled or how storylines play out, but a very enjoyable read. Many characters but for the most part they manage to feel reasonably well-developed.

Absolutely loved this. The badass women in this, the female friendships and the fact they became bffs because of books makes me so happy. Definitely recommend!
