3.5
I’m glad to report that it did not disappoint. It was a 3.5 ⭐ for me!
I can see why people could find this boring but I was so intrigued and I understood the character so much that I finished this so quickly, it was entertaining for me.
The husband deserved soooooo much worse than what he got 💀
At least the women ended up thriving and living in peace away from him so I was happy with that ending.

- Abortion:
- Pregnancy: We find out about this very early on but
- Blood: Because of the murder, and
- Death / Murder: There’s someone killed in the beginning, and then we discover there’s way more bodies on that backyard.

I don’t know if this book is a masterpiece in general or just a masterpiece for me, in this moment I’m in. I’m too deep in my own experience that resonates too loudly for me to comment on writing or storyline. I think both of those things were enjoyable and interesting, but the overall experience of this book is the emotion and the characters. I can see this falling flat for someone who just wants a fun sci-fi romp and not a look at how parenting, society, and intimate partner violence shapes people and makes us question how much free will we have and if it’s possible to break the programming in a world that wants us pleasant, submissive, and unquestioning.
