It is a perfect ode to womanhood. It is melancholic and beautiful in a devastating way. I felt like I was being pushed out of my body while reading.

A very beautiful but quite an excruciating book. I like each of the POV carecters - they're all so interesting and unusual in their own ways but I just feel like the story stretched on far more than I would have liked it to. Some parts of the book were just really hard to get through because of it.
