this would’ve been great but the timeline and narrators of the story are confusing, as i read along i felt that it was going no where.
also, in this edition in particular the intro is beautifully written but i felt that elizabeth didn’t read the book it says some stuff, for example: laura didn’t understand jojo’s poems because of the language when it is stated, more than once, that laura studied in the usa, so it didn’t make any sense and only confused me more as i was reading.

the book is in reverse chronological order which I personally had trouble with. funny and sad little stories put together. loved the sisterhood though.
Minor: War, Sexism, Police brutality, Pedophilia, and Gun violence
