"Grief is a lake of perilously thin ice."
I was absolutely captivated by this book from the beginning. Each of these women were strong in their own right but I loved that this portrayed their flaws and fears and it made them seem to incredibly human and vulnerable. This did a wonderful job explaining their traumas and why they are who they are, there was so much grief and pain, it felt palpable. Although Ann and her mother weren't particularly likeable they were relatable and I respect that.
