Written by Dawn O’Porter
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.
Cliched .. and rather disappointing 
When I first heard about this book, I opted to read it as I thought it would be fresh and funny but I struggled through to the end.
This is the tale of three women; none of whom live ordinary day to day lives like most of us. Camilla is a blogger with strong views on equality for all, which I heartily endorse. Tara is a documentary film maker, who has to fight to hold her own in a workplace where she’s the only woman. Stella is haunted by the death of her twin sister and mother, and this slants her view of the world. Strange circumstances bring these three into the same circles, although their lives are very different.
The view of feminism shown in this book took away a lot of enjoyment from this story for me; in all honesty whilst I’m no prude I found it all a bit tacky and this is not an author I would read again. I’m so glad to have reached maturity without the internet dictating how I lived my life!
My thanks to publisher Harper Collins for my copy via NetGalley. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.
