For some reason I thought this book was going to be a whole different story than what it was. Not necessarily a bad thing. I do wish it had been a bit more magical than it was. It did drag for me quite a bit but the ending was lovely

I don’t really know what to say about this. I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it. The writing is good but I didn’t find myself wanting to keep picking it up. 

One thing is for certain though, I will be watching Jodie Comer in the adaptation and think it will be one of those rare times where it’s better than the book! 
fast-paced

Meh…it was nice enough. Not the best writing but some nice sentiments

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.

I do not often cry at books, never have done. But this…..this was something else. I was sad, angry, hopeful, devastated….just everything. This is one that will stay with me for a very long time.
