I thought this book was so well written, the characters are fully alive. It made for an amazing audiobook.
My only issue with the book is how Therese is described as a child and is definitely viewed as one from Carol's perspective. Even to the point that Therese is trying to decide throughout the book if Carol cares about her more than her own daughter.
