This woman and her husband need to be kept AWAY from any children and put in a padlocked room away from society. GOOD GOD. I loved reading about her neuroses and how the author came back to certain points to make everything clear. It’s crazy how this woman is living in her own personal hell in the name of love. I personally loved the twist ending, I don’t care what that says about my taste.

The read was good. Ariane is so complex to the point that she's interesting. Ngl, I want to meet this character. The fact that the wife's name is not even mentioned in her monologue gives off a vibe that she's not important to herself anymore, or she lost herself long ago in search of the attention of her husband. Interestingly, her husband's name too, is barely mentioned, which further proves that she's in fact, "in love with love". The biggest drawback is that, after reading for a certain time you grow weary of her inner whining.

I was here for the "Support women's wrongs", alas, this was not it.

It's a toxic relationship on both sides. Also, for all her insistence that she loves her husband, she has no problem cheating. Also, that epilogue? No thank you.
