Lovely storytelling, I really enjoyed how the characters were connected.
I generally love jumps in time, and this one didn’t disappoint.
I liked to learn about the different perspectives of friends, ex-girls friends and sisters.
Ich habe einige Kommentare zur Sprache gelesen, mir hat das Buch sprachlich extrem gut gefallen.
Sachlich, klar, aber trotzdem voller Poesie.
Extra Punkte für das Hörbuch, toll gelesen und die verschiedenen Sprecherinnen haben es sehr gut gemacht.

I actually felt emotionally healed by the end of the book. I love how the author emphasizes that healing has to come from the characters themselves and not from outside factors like lovers or parents; only you have the right to choose when and how to forgive. I loved the way the stories of five drastically different women intersected and parted, as the individuality and independence of each story convinces us to value our own experiences, emotions, and lives, even when we seem to only exist in relationship with one another.
