Alright, I'm giving this book a second chance.
I got hooked in the second part of the book. Although I do NOT understand why there are so many occurrences of 'watery bowels', but what are you gonna do?

Really hate the audiobook voice actor :/

Yeesh, i think I like the show better

Jesus. There was a lot of rape within a small amount of pages. I got to say, I started crying when Ethel says her last goodbye to Fitz. She's the character that got me wrapped up in the books in the first place. I might have missed something but where the hell is Billy? Did he die? Did I miss something?

Damn, how has this author made me cry over a man that has been dead for over 60 years.

Definitely not as captivating as the first two books. I do like knowing more about the times and pop culture references. The characters just aren't as appealing. And the women are more two dimensional than Ethel or Daisy. Looking forward to finishing this so I can start Game of Thrones hahaha

A black woman getting it on with JFK was not on my Bingo card for this book

Damn is it weird listening to the perspective of the gang rape baby.

TW: there is a description of rape. I get that is happens in real life, but I wasn't a fan of the full description. Had to skip through it

Good God, I absolutely despise Fitz. And I don't understand how such a small quarrel could divide Maud and Ethel. Firmly on Ethel's side "take what you can get and inch forward when you can". Being from lower class, she understands that you cannot demand all or nothing when you have nothing.

I want to punch Fitz in the balls

I am very intrigued so far. I'm curious if it's historically accurate, outside of the made-up characters
