At times I saw so much of myself in Martha, a truly unlikeable character, that it was difficult to read at times, especially since Meg Mason did such a good job putting you inside Martha’s head. 

Also to note, the synopsis on the back of the book made it seem like the plot would be her going back to her parents’ and figuring out how to build her life again which is not remotely the plot.
