3.0

A literary book that explores female friendship, the mother/daughter relationship, love, loyalty, and forgiveness. 

This was well written with a melancholy tone, but the plot felt unremarkable to me. This is one of those books where you can’t say much without spoiling a major plot point, so I’ll leave it at I liked the book, but it very much felt like something I’ve already read in other similar books. 

My thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing for a complimentary copy of this eBook, out now.
