This wasn't a terrible read. The jist of the story is what interested me and it did not disappoint. Things ended in the way they needed to, although part of me wishes marriage would have won out.

This book was HEAVY for me because of the context but it was a great story of how a relationship can be altered by one incident was very real and tough digest. I would definitely recommend!
