The narrators were amazing! It was interesting at parts but dragged at the beginning. It also was infuriating at parts, but since it's a true story, that couldn't be changed. But I did like the strong woman element a lot.

This book read like a novel and I knew little about George Remus going into the book so it was a bit of a mystery for me. A favorite part was when Remus returned home from prison, had to break into his locked home and found his wife took everything but the water in the pool.
