The twist and turns and work play in this book really had me fooled. I was curious all the way through at how it would end.

It seems that people either loved or hated this book and I unfortunately am the latter. While the premise had me hooked, the wife of a polygamist seeks out his other wives- I kept reading to find out where this story was going to go. It veered left, then right then left again and I struggled to know what was real and what wasn't- which I'm sure was intentional. I generally enjoyed this book until about 75% through it, however the ending was a terrible letdown.

I was fortunate that I read several of the goodreads reviews to prepare me for how silly this book was. Please read this book if you are interested in psychopathic female protagonists who think that they are sane... if you like books where you cannot trust the narrator... Also for those who like movies that end with "everything was a dream in the end" (though this occurred in the middle of the book). Its sad- this book had a lot of potential.

Very interesting read. Surprising ending for sure! I almost wish there had been more insight into what was actually going on sooner in the book, more like a trail. Instead is was kind of a slap in the face of what was actually going on. And the very last page was quite strange for the ending.
