Gritty Tale of Texan Women

4 stars

This novel follows a group of women and girls living in 1970's Odessa, Texas during the years of oil boom after a horrific rape and assault of a young teenager upends their life.  Definitely gritty and disturbing, the character that stands out the most in this novel is Odessa and west Texas itself.  Beautifully described, while I have never been to that area of the U.S., I feel as though I can imagine it vividly how it was in the seventies.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
