3.5

 This is like a 3.75 for me, but only because it took soooooo long to get to the point. It felt like the second half of the book was an entirely different novel! I loved the back half of the book, but you had to trudge through to get there. I loved the heroines of this book, they were "unique" without being annoying. It was incredibly frustrating to realize how different times were and how hard it was for woman to be independent and live their own lives, so it gave me a new appreciation for how far woman's rights have come.
