“If you are heartbroken right now, then I feel for you deeply,” Evelyn says. “That I have the utmost respect for. That's the sort of thing that can split a person in two. But I wasn't heartbroken when Don left me. I simply felt like my marriage had failed. And those are very different things.”

I knew nothing of this book going in, and I think I assumed it was chick lit-ish from the cover because internalized misogyny is real idk.

But wow, it is a stunner. I wept for maybe the last 20%.
