Set in the 70’s, during a time when ABBA ruled the music scene, women were expected to be submissive & men still ruled the world. Enter Carol, Anna & Libby, three women who get jack of that narrative & decide to change their lives. I guess that’s the crux for me though, these women were doing something monumental & unexpected & yet the story felt… a bit too fluffy, I felt unmoved. I didn’t feel an affinity with any of the characters or their stories sadly.
Their friendship was a beautiful thing in a very challenging time, maybe that was the writer’s focus & I missed the point. Maybe I just read this story at the wrong time & therefore didn’t relate to it. For that reason I’m choosing not to give this book a rating, because it wasn’t a badly written book, it just maybe wasn’t the right book for me right now.
