4/5 rounded up
This is an initial review as I gather my thoughts. I’m rounding up my review as I lives the author’s debut novel, Maame, and feel the potential was there for this to be as wonderful.
Since I had high hopes going in this novel fell short of my expectations on a few things. There are many themes which may resonate with many women regarding female friendships. Some of the themes are loneliness, depression, loss, life changes, family expectations and coping. The issue is that there are many characters and many themes which muddle things.
