Status Updates From The Women on Platform Two: ...

Reading. Great story about 2 women in Ireland in the 70s each fighting their own battles with husband, children, rights, etc. flying through it!

This book has drawn me in from the very first page! I can’t put it down!!!

Can’t put this one down.

This book is so good. The audio is 👌.

Feel like every women and man should read this book!

I’m surprised by how much I am into this book. The subject matter is not what I’d usually gravitate toward because there’s some triggers for child loss, domestic abuse, abortion, postpartum depression…among others but this story is so compelling. I’m interested to see where else it will go

After this I need to take a break from reading about how men oppressed women i am running out of space in the camp

Every man in this so far is a red flag

Page 4 and my jaw has dropped at the audacity of a man

I can already tell this is going to be a great book. The strength of the women stands out immediately — especially their refusal to walk behind a man instead of beside him as an equal.

Josie 😭😭

Loving this!

The ending of chapter 9 has left me SPEECHLESS. I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting that, but I am full of rage for Maura!!

I just started this book and don’t want to put it down. I can tell it’s going to be great.

Christy is an awful awful man 🗑️🤬

1st book of 2026!

What a great story! I love the way it was told from different POVs, that it’s historical fiction set in the late 1960s, early 1970s, yet seemed so much longer ago. Excellent character development.

Good for Maura in standing up to her parents. And good riddance to Christy!

Another book I read in a day. Great history you never learn in school. Women are badass!

It’s getting to the part where the women are going to stand up for contraception. I never thought about how difficult it must have been before it was readily available.

This is a really good book with short, readable chapters, so it’s a quick read. I am also listening to the Audible version so getting through it quickly.

I hate Dr. Christy.

This book is so good, and I didn’t even realize part of it takes place at Christmas time (and I just happened to be reading it right after Christmas).

I love Maura and Bernie!

I was 90% through this compelling, frightening, and eye opening novel set in 1970’s Dublin, when my Libby copy returned itself one morning. I thought I had until the evening to finish it. Now I’m on another 6 week list to finish it.

It is worth every second and minute. This is a stunning and heartfelt novel about a woman secretly leaving her abusive husband with her two young daughters.

My heart 😭💔

1. Christy, you are the actual scum of the earth
2. I will never get over how much I love the name Saoirse💖💕💗

Ooh man do I despise Christy
