This book was very amazingly written, very much conveying the raw emotion throughout the book. It does not make me want to get married ;-;

Oof reading this having just had a baby was a questionable decision, as was listening to it on audio (the narrator’s interpretation was off imo, and the words deserve to be savored more than audio allows), but wow. Ashley Audrain is a poet.

3.5 rounded up. I didn't love it, I was expecting more thriller but it was just suburban sadness and a depressing read. I did enjoy the final line and thought that was well deserved, so at least it had an ending.

Kept my interest but didn't love all the extra long inner thoughts and monologues, got long winded. Cheating spouses, jealous neighbors, bratty troubled kids and good bratty kids. Just so so
4.5 stars
