I'm not a big contemporary girly, so take my review with a grain of salt.

Overall, Girl, Woman, Other was hard for me to lock into and get invested because of how unusual the prose and formatting are. The characters themselves are very interesting, but because there is no plot, they feel disconnected to each other (despite some of them being directly related), and it reads like a succession of very detailed profiles. It's a shame because some of the stories I found genuinely compelling, and I was saddened to leave them at the end of their respective chapters as it felt unfinished. It also didn't help that the chapters felt wildly uneven to me, as I alternated between not being able to put the book down, and being bored out of my mind. A lot of the sentences did resonate with me however, and the messages are powerful.

I understand and appreciate what the book is trying to do, but the lack of punctuation is too much of a flaw to me. I did get used to it eventually, but if a stylistic choice is getting in the way of my comprehension and care for the characters, then I can't really say it's a good choice. It's undeniable that the characters are tragically and beautifully human, but I definitely would've preferred it if we got to explore them through a plot.

Maybe if I listened to it instead I would've liked it more, but I think in this format I can only say that yes, it's a great book, but it's not a book for me.
