5.0

I got this book from the library to read with a group on Bookstagram, and I almost returned it without even cracking the spine. I just didn't get around to it. Ultimately, I decided to binge it the night before our book club discussion, library fine be damned, and I am so glad I did. I will say that I spent a lot of the book frustrated with one character or another and some of it downright outraged. 

I loved Olga, flaws and all, and  (most of) her family. Despite my frustration and outrage, I still wanted to give the book a hug when I finished it.
