A beautiful story of female friendship, bravery, love and accomplishment which absolutely tore my heart out at times. I did a mix of the audiobook and paper back, and the narration was fantastic.
This was a very long book, and I think I would have found it too slow reading the whole thing in hard copy. The ending felt rushed given the set up was probably 7/8 of the book, but by that point I was glad the pace quickened.
