I finally started this ARC, and I promise not to spam your feeds with quotes even though that would be so easy, and I know I haven‘t gotten very far into it, but I feel seen. This is going to be a tough read, and I expect lots of tears, but this feels like my truth in print.
Cinfhen Too bad you can‘t send PM to me, because this sounds excellent. I‘d love to see more ❤️ 4y
DGRachel @Cinfhen Seriously, I‘m on page 13 and I honestly have never heard of other women with similar experiences to me with the same reactions. I want to know how the author found these women and can she introduce us because these are the friends I need. 😭😭 Example below👇🏻 4y

DGRachel “Another woman told me she had started to fear that she was going to die alone. Just like her married friends, she‘d gotten a good education and had a good job, had made a nice home and was staying in shape. But somehow she‘d never found a partner or had children.

LauraJ I fell into a deep funk after the first few chapters and put it down for a few weeks. I should have kept reading because I felt better by the end. 4y
LauraJ Oh, and as a middle aged woman, I also feel like I could rob a bank and no one would notice. 4y
DGRachel @Cinfhen Thank you. Sorry about the word vomit. Totally should have just put the phone down and gone to bed. 😆😆 @LauraJ I will definitely keep going. Maybe should have waited to start until I wasn‘t sobbing over #DearBabyYoda on Twitter. Don‘t know why I‘m such a wreck this week. 🤷🏻♀️ 4y

LauraJ @DGRachel Near the end. Hang in there! 4y
