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!
This book as a whole was well written or easy to read and eloquently devoted a strong emotional tie into the characters and their emotions. Partly predictable but still engaging enough to continue. I won't give the story away but I don't like the ending. I do feel it is uncovers important subject matter that needs to be discussed.
