This book is actually insane. It's incredibly character-driven and you feel so much for each of these sisters. At the heart of it, I see this book as a horrible tragedy; a war against women. The connection between the sisters is so real. As a Hispanic woman with three others sisters, I felt this all so vividly. This book has just about every trigger warning in the book but it really speaks to the reality of this people. I will not long forget this book.
