“History doesn’t record the intricacies of women’s relationships with one another; they’re not to be uncovered”

I am so happy I started out 2023 with this book! I had a great time reading it, and I will absolutely give it a secure 4⭐️ review.

I really enjoyed all of our 3 main women. They were all really interesting, and I was rooting for all of them throughout the entire plot.

And the touch of having poison and food recipes at the end was really cute! I loved that a lot, especially as a gardener student 🌔

My only con of this book was the ending. Really hate being that type of person, but I think that there should have been a sadder ending for one of the characters, not gonna say who, but I am still really happy about the entire thing.
