Beautiful and heartbreaking all at once, this book showcases the remarkable truths of being a girl, a woman, a mother. The writing was beyond gorgeous and full of gut punching lines and prose that had me tearing up. I loved all the girls, but Simone especially carved her way into my heart. Her love and determination for her twins was awe inspiring, I was rooting for her and my heart was in my throat at certain points during this book.

If you’re looking for a book that feels like Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, with the tenderness of sweet honey, and characters that ache and bleed and make you feel alive, I highly recommend this one. Moving and deeply emotional. I will be reading everything Mottley writes from now on.
