I love to read about flawed women, especially reading about sisters and mothers/daughters, generational trauma, and motherhood/the lives women give up to be mothers. I enjoyed reading this, and I loved the message and the writing style, but I felt like the 70 page chunks of each perspective took me time to get into and out of and made the book feel a little disjointed. Despite that, I was still fully invested in the characters and their stories. I almost wish I got more time with all of them or that I got to see more of the tail ends of all their stories. I felt like I got to know them so well during their sections and was left guessing as to their experiences towards the end when I would have wanted to see more. There was also a character whose perspective was written from a second person point of view, and that really took me out of the book, although I did understand the narrative purpose of it. Overall, I liked reading this and would recommend it, but it was not an absolute favorite for me.
