If you’re into husband gaslighting, unreliable character being forced to medicate herself & a relatively obvious plot, then this is for you. 

I should’ve DNF’d it. But kept wanting to see how it would. Should’ve DNF’d it.

The first half I have to give a 2 ⭐ rating, lost my interest a couple times but I felt a need to keep going.

The second half I give a 4⭐ rating because it got really intense really quickly and tied some loose strings from the beginning.
