About this listen
A piece of meat; born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd.
Three women. A whole world of judgement.
Tara, Cam and Stella are very different women. Yet in a society that sets the agenda, there’s something about being a woman that ties invisible bonds between us.
When one extraordinary event rockets Tara to online infamy, their three worlds collide in ways they could never imagine – and they discover that one woman’s catastrophe might just be another’s inspiration.
Through friendship and conflict, difference and likeness, they’ll learn to find their own voices.
Because sometimes it’s OK not to follow the herd.

A nice distraction from a crazy world
A nice listen at a time I needed to be
distracted. Good strong story which I was curious to see where it ended.

Loved it
It's a book of amazing women that find their own way and their one truth and wasn't afraid to be themselves, regardless of all the difficulties that came their way.

Binge worthy. Surprising. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Already ordered mutliple copies as Christmas presents. Lovely to actually relate to these characters. Thank you to the Guilty Feminist Podcast for plugging the book and well done Dawn.

First review after reading 100s of books
I just had to review this!! I listened to this as an audio book and I’m so glad I did. Absolutely fantastic, did not want it to end. First book I have genuinely laughed out loud. Feel good book that makes you realise how amazing women really are without being too feministic.
