Wowwww this is really well explained, I need to copy and paste this for my review coz I had no idea how to summarise how I felt!! 😂 you nailed it.
The ending really bothered me and was over the top. Margaret’s overwhelming success was totally unbelievable. Given the gender pay gap I didn’t believe that her and Walt could afford to go back to school for multiple degrees while also sending their three kids to school.
This is my exact scenario right now- my book club pick and it really left me wanting more! I thought it would really dive into these themes but it felt really glossed over and sickly sweet!
I gave it three stars but agree with what everyone on this thread writes.
I think I based my rating on the fact that the other seven people in my book club really liked it. I figured that should count for something 😏
Disagree. The women all made big changes in their lives.
Through the lens of the 1960, all four of these women were troublesome to the status quo indeed.
I rolled my eyes when Jackie-O walked into the room at the end.
The whole Jackie Kennedy arc had me rolling my eyes. Because sure. 🙄
Wow, I feel like I read a different book. I respect different opinions. They should always exist. For me, who was born in the 60's, I lived this world. It felt very real and very troublesome.
