I'm on the fence about this book. The beginning of the book was fairly boring and really dense with subject matter, symbols and hidden meanings. The book did get better as it went on and got more interesting especially when Avis started to fall in love. But it was hard to ignore the fact that this book was annoying. It's just one of those books where the girl gives up her dreams that is so promising to be with a man who doesn't truely apprciate her or lives up to his potential. It became fairly predictable towards the end especially with Van and Phillip dying. I also saw the opportunity that her husband would 'cheat' on her, while he didn't seem to do it physically it was mentally and emotionally and was sickening that neither the offender or the girl really cared what they were doing. I got more into the book in the middle but once Avis and Phillip got back together the book took another turn for the worse and got really slow and boring and I almost thought about not finishing it because I didn't care. I did like the ending however when her daughter was starting to show she was going to become her mother but better and would be because Avis said she wouldn't let her make the same mistakes.
