Thank you to Dutton Press and NetGalley for the gifted ebook of The Making of Her! All opinions in this review are my own.
I really liked both the dual narration and timelines in The Making of Her. By showing both timelines of Joan, I think the reader is more sympathetic to her rather than if we had only seen part of her story. Hearing Emma's side of the story only deepens the complexity of their relationship and history.
I recommend this as a book club read because there is a lot to unpack and it would provide material for some great discussions!
