This was a slow burn for me, I actually almost DNF’d this around 20-30% but I’m so glad I didn’t. I fell in love with these women and their very raw and relatable experiences, thoughts and musings. I particularly enjoyed the Ayahuasca section! 

Some beautiful, powerful and emotional writing in this, lots of highlighting of passages. 

It’s not without its trigger warnings but I think these are important discussions.
