I preferred everything from Evelyn’s POV - it had a stronger voice and emotional depth. The prose from Evelyn’s POV is stronger too. 

I get that Monique is still growing into herself but found her narration and character a little cliché. I always found myself annoyed when the story switched back to her. 

The intertwining of their stories was interesting but didn’t affect me in some profound way. I was more moved by Evelyn’s singular account of her relationships. So, I’d recc for fun but it wasn’t life changing for me.
