The Woman I Was Before

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes... Yes, I'm blatantly stealing from RENT, because this book - featuring (roughly) a year in the life of three women who randomly move in to the same block on the same weekend brought out those vibes for me. It also harkens to fellow Amazon publishing colleague Emily Bleeker's 2020 book What It Seems in that this is another look at how “reality” according to social media... rarely turns out to be actual reality. (Ha! Another RENT reference :D) Another strong look at the various damages secrets can wreak, though its portrayal of childless people was at times a bit extreme. Ultimately a well written story of several interweaving lives, and very much recommended.
