I read this as an ARC given to me through Barnes & Noble — this book is peak literary fiction. My preferred genre is “women with problems” and these women are all so complex and nuanced. It’s messy, it’s angry, it’s volatile in the ways that grief is. Mellors’ writing style was highly addictive, and I couldn’t put it down. Little Women for the modern day. 

Brutal but ultimately very hopeful and kind in a way that I want more stories to be.
