 Read this for my company's book club. Fun take on feminism in the 60s. Was able to connect with the characters. I'm not a pet person but this book had me rooting for the dog.

Felt like the commentary on religion didn't need to be addressed. The trauma these characters faced was very downplayed in terms of how these events could shape their choices and personality.

Wished the ending plot point was expanded on but in all, the happy ending was satisfying.
