Loved how the main characters transformed after subjected to a few weeks of misfortune and desperation.
I loved the empowerment of women in this book. More importantly the strength of banding together. It was a great read! Not too heavy.
A somewhat enjoyable read, but I knew exactly what was going to happen 1/2 way through, which made for a boring, too tidy finish. I also didn’t find the character development particularly believable. I think I’ll pass on this author in the future.
