- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Although the first part of the book was extremely grim, the story really developed well and the characters were very believable. It kept me coming back. I had a difficult time understanding how the protagonist such a well educated intelligent person could have married Joe, the jerk, but by the end it became clear. Good book!
