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.

Ya know what? This was a good book and I enjoyed reading it. I think there could have been a more interesting ending, but I was engaged all along the way, so good job, author!

SpoilerThis book was not good, I don’t know what else to say. I found the ending really depressing and frustrating, it is like the Movie Gaslight, except you find out the lady was crazy all along. Her husband is of course manipulative, and gaslights her, and uses her mental health problems to get what he wants, but in the end she was still delusional. It is the literally equivalent of JR waking up from his season long dream.

Pretty good pacing but some of the details were confusing.
Last few chapters explain Thursdays delusions and illness. Ends with her attacking Regina and trying to kill her
