Have you ever started reading a book and known from the very first page that it was not only going to be 5 stars, but also a story that would hit the heart and all the emotions hard? Thatโs what happened when I started listening to ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ช๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ ๐ง๐๐ผ.
In 1970s Dublin, all forms of contraception are strictly forbidden, but an intrepid group of women will risk everything to change that.
This is just one of those books where I canโt even get my emotions and head right to write the words this book deserves for a review.
I felt each characterโs life all the way down to my bones as I alternated between listening and reading. I was there as a mom feeling everything we moms feel, there as a woman who has be ability to choose what happens to her body and knowing others still donโt have this, there as a woman who has endured abuse, and there as a woman who will always support other women. I seriously canโt express how this book is not just something you readโฆitโs something you experience.
This was also a beautiful story that was about friendships between women, and the unbreakable bonds forged as we share a lot of the same experiences, even though our backgrounds are different.

The narrators brought the characters and their emotional complexities off the page and made me feel like they were in the car with me.

This book is an absolute must read and/or listen, and will be recommending it to everyone especially with whatโs going. We women are still fighting for the rights to our body in the United States and now seeing how fragile those rights are, we need to stay vigilant.
