I enjoyed it. Thought it was different than most of our book club reads, but that’s why I liked it. The style of writing was unique and the “story” was real life stuff that I could relate too. Don’t understand the negative reviews

It never fails to amaze me that so many books that receive prizes or authors that receive prizes can write such utter trash!
