Lisa Taddeo is an incredible storyteller! I was completely enthralled! She captured what it’s like being a woman and all of the dark, twisted, tragic things that go along with that.

Thank you Avid Reader Press and Libro.FM for the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

I had to DNF this one. I made it to 19%, but for my sanity, I refuse to go any further. I *may* try again later with a physical copy.

This one just isn't working for me. I LOVE Emma Roberts as the narrator, but she cannot make up for how annoying the main character is nor how unlikeable/unreliable she is. Also, she's so emotionless that it caused me to raise red flags immediately.

Also....holy disjointed plot. I am still in a realm of confusion. It looks to me that a lot of the story will be based on the main character dehumanizing the traumas people's lives.

How many times does the c u next Tuesday need to be included in one phone call between a mistress and the wife? Honestly? Not as much as it was.

I didn't read her nonfiction, Three Women, and I probably won't now.

This book will obviously work for some people, but it just isn't working for me.

Please be aware of the trigger warnings that people have finished are sharing.

I haven't come across those points in the story yet, but from what I've seen in reviews and on social media - the they are very triggering.
