'They Drown Our Daughters' really drew me in from early on. I liked the multiple POV chapters that gave glimpses into the different women's lives and the strong theme of strained mother/daughter relationships. I was intrigued by the idea of a multi-generational curse and was excited to see where the story would go.

Unfortunately, the story barely goes anywhere at all for the majority of the book. The story starts off well, but then it just drags on for chapter after chapter after chapter. I considered DNFing multiple times, but I was genuinely interested in how the curse would play out, so I kept at it...and at it...and at it. 

In the end, I jumped from dialogue to dialogue just so I could know the outcome.
The ending was objectively interesting as well, but I was too worn out by the drawn-out bulk of the book to really appreciate or enjoy it.
