This is book was highly readable and I got through it quickly. I enjoyed it until the ending. The ending was frustrating and disappointing.  I’m all for a smart cunning female character but  

I hate how Karen faked her abuse. It perpetuates the myth that women experiencing DV are lying. It was just disappointing.
