Description

This is a collection of portraits of 7 women, of all different ages, backgrounds, circumstances and eras. Each one of them is facing a defining moment in her life.

I wasn't so sure about it at first.
I think the themes and ideas are strong. I love how it surrounds breasts. But I think a lot of the stories were developed around a certain concept and didn't develop to be a story that is complete on it's own. It just remains a vessel for the idea.
I would give this a 3 stars but the last heart warming one took me by surprise.
