4.5⭐️ I was immediately hooked to the characters. I felt their pain and everything they went through. The author did a great job switching POVs flawlessly, and I thought her writing was beautiful. Sometimes with new authors I feel as if they try really hard to sound academic that the book ends up feeling like a giant thesaurus.
The main plot of the book is that these three women are connected and living in different times each of them experiencing abuse from the men in their lives. There are a lot of triggers in this book which I knew coming in because I Google books. My only problem with this book is that one of the few good men in the book, Graham, I felt was treated harshly. The line “But Graham was— or would soon become—a man. A good man, but a man all the same.” If it weren’t for this line the book would have been better for me.
