The author's style was easy to read but I have a view critique points:
- Why so much sex? 
-

The first point connects to the second: I had a problem with Jamie, he had a few good lines and while I understand that the time was different then, I just can't agree with some things he did, because he really doesn't give her a proper choice. And the beating, no, I could not really forgive him for that even though Claire did.

-

Why did Claire have to cry so much and always had to be held in Jamie's arms to calm down?

-

The ending. I knew she would have a baby but still. Maybe it's just personal preference but I don't like the Pregnancy trope.
