This was our book club's read for September. I would say that I liked it overall, but I found certain parts to not mesh well with my idea of the characters. The ending felt a bit rushed, some major moments felt like plot devices rather than real actions motivated by the character. I can't say anymore without spoiling it. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a woman-power inspiring book that is well known.
