This book is much more graphic than I was expecting, especially when it comes to the child death, sexual and domestic abuse, and animal death. Watch out!yaelaed's review against another edition

The things I didn’t like were the side stories. The author introduced characters that didn’t really have anything to do with the main plot of the story. I know they are important for a bigger set-up in the sequels, but I ended up not being interested since I was too focused on the main story. Also there is a love triangle. So of course I hate that; especially since it deals with best friends, and those are the worst.
I will say that there is a small rape scene in the story between husband and wife. The scene isn’t too graphic. It depicts the abuse the character went through. So if you are triggered by those topics and you want to read this book, you still can, because the scene is not important to the overall plot. You won’t miss any important details by skipping the scene.
Overall I really enjoyed reading the book and will continue with this series.

Mabel, Henry, Sam and Memphis could have been cut without much trouble and it would have streamlined everything. It´s clearly just a setup and it should have been more.
