Shiner by Amy Jo Burns

5.0

I absolutely loved this one! For me, the best part about this book is the strong women—their fierce friendship, their complexity, strength, and survival instincts. I really appreciated how all these things helped to shape another young woman whose life will be better because of it.

I really liked the format and the different narrators/perspectives. At first I didn’t like that we don’t hear from each narrator multiple times, but it turned out great in the end. I did, however, flip back and reread specific parts to compare different characters’ perspectives and perceptions. This was fine with a physical book, but if you’re an audio listener, it may be challenging.
