Grown Women: A Novel by Sarai Johnson
4.0

4.25/5 gifted by the publisher

I enjoyed this multigenerational tale following four generations of women in a family and the different mother-daughter dynamics. The examination of how one forgives & moves forward with their trauma is the most intriguing aspect.

I wish we spent more time on the adult women and their second coming of age though. There’s a lot of teenage drama from the youngest generation’s perspective. And while that’s understandable, I just wish her POV wasn’t so focused on romance and other passions of hers (the ballet arc kinda got forgotten and I was expecting more from that)
