This wasn't my favorite. I had the ending figured out before the big reveal so it was kind of a let down. I like to be surprised. 

The characters were all cookie cutter versions of each other.... I had to keep going back to the beginning of chapters to figure out who was narrating because the only difference was the kids and the type of abuse or manipulation their husband was dishing out. 

It's a very sad story without a long list of triggers so I'd look into those before reading.
