I recieved an audiobook ARC of this book thanks to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley. The review below is honest and entirely my own. Short stories usually are hit or miss for me, as some of them are good ana some are bad. But I loved all of these. Amal El-Mohtar has such a way with words that just hooked me with every story, even the ones that were short and that I didn't quite get. So worth reading, especially if you love stories about women empowering women.
