Halfway through and still aren't to the point of the story. I don't want to keep anticipating abuse.

TW: domestic abuse, alcoholism, substance abuse 

I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. It took a while to dive into the thick of the plot, but the world building made you love the girls so so so much more. A sisterhood of the traveling pants meets the chicks song, this was really great.

I read this right on the heels of Crane Husband. Intense is not the word.
