As a black woman, it was one of those stories that I could really identify with. Each of the women represented some of the common struggles we face as black women matriculating through the phases of life.

Very detailed if you watched the movie! It gives more personal point of views and insight! Also more details on the side character's! Its almost like you could see yourself in each woman's shoes but also see where they made their mistakes and how leaning on each other made it not as heavy
