This book was just okay for me. The beginning dragged on for way too long with boring "mommy wars" stuff and annoying characters, but it did build to a thrilling pitch as the story approached a fateful night where the reader already knows something will happen... And then immediately starts dragging again after the event occurs. I think the message about domestic violence is important but this book just didn't grab me.
