I listened to this as an audiobook and loved it! Especially Tina and Ruth’s stories <3 It’s rare for me to find a split POV book where I like both narrators equally, but both Ruth and Pamela had so much strength and character development in their own ways. And the lemon shark was mentioned!

A testament to why these horrible little men shouldn’t be remembered, and instead we should look to the lives and futures of these women who were better than him and should never be forgotten.
