I did like the characters--even the shitty husband--in terms of writing and plausibility, and even their stupid decisions made sense. I didn't necessarily think that the majority were people I would have wanted to have anything to do with.
In general, the writing shows great promise, and if the unevenness of the plot is something that this debut author works out, their future books will be fantastic.
Moderate: Self harm
Minor: Miscarriage, Murder, Infidelity, and Infertility
