This book was absolutely lovely. I fell in love with the two female POVs, Ruth and Charlotte and when they finally meet, the storyline quickened and held me captive until the very end. The third POV. George furthered the story but didn't hold up solidly to the ladies. This was a book about the WOMEN, and the men around them who influenced their lives. This didn't have a happy fairy tale ending but instead was raw and realistic. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and 1/2 stars.
