This was such a roller coaster read!! The bond between the female characters and standing up the the male characters and the patriarchy was chef's kiss 👌✨ I think it was a good choice to read this as an audiobook, as the characters and situations just came to life! This would make a great drama series 😻 (The f-bomb is dropped quite a bit.)
Definitely a feminist piece and humorous.
