This book was pretty slow in the first half in my opinion, but it kept my intrigue enough to continue. I have to admit it did take me a while to get used to her writing style. The book was kind of like a slow burn with many leading plot elements. It was entertaining enough.
I love how we really got into the main character's head.
Spoiler
At one point I seriously thought she was going crazy. I'm so happy she left her no good unsupportive husband. He really got on my nerves. And I'm also glad she was able to gain a better relationship with her sister and finally understand her mother.Also, the twist (many might think it's outlandish) but I really liked it. It bumped the book a 0.5 star for me.

It was an enthralling read, I listened while I did chores around the house which allowed me to forget about how much cleaning I was doing.
