Overall I enjoyed the book, I resonated in part with the MC. She has spent her life policing herself to the comfort and convenience of others, literally squeezing herself into a shape she wasn't made for and yet she is the one who's made responsible.
Her parent's bought her a dress that doesn't fit her yet it's her fault for not fasting when she can't put it on herself, her husband did something to break her trust in the relationship yet it's her who tries to stay because according to her MIL "marriage is a commitment".
But when she attempts to do something right by herself the first thing she thinks of is public scrutiny and embarrassment and that thought process is very real. 

I'm of two mind that we didn't find out what her husband did, on one hand I appreciate that this is P's story and he does not matter in the slightest, on the other hand I'm nosey and I'm a tiny bit disappointed that I didn't find out.
