There were a couple of points where the writing's grip on me loosened and the ending was maybe a tad rushed. However, in light of all the other delightful things to recommend this book I think they pale.
Additionally, abuse and marital rights are a focus of the book. At times the main character can feel a bit naive on that head. And I don't know how I feel about the sister's depiction. But again, as for how it all serves the overall storyline, the author writes it credibly enough.
Moderate: Domestic abuse and Sexual assault

I picked this book up and ignored reviews because I actually don't like to read reviews before books. Overall I wanted to say that unfortunately, I don't particularly like the main love interest, and the pacing towards the end is a bit stilted to say the least. However I did find the writing style enjoyable.
Overall it's a book to pass the time with during quarantine, and certainly not an awful debut novel, even though certain plot points and pacing issues could be fixed, as the start of the book felt quite slow.
