This book was a regret for me. Lets go over some of the isses I found within this book. Fiest, I listened to it as an audiobook and it felt like such a slow, annoying burn. It wasnt the good kind of plot prolonging, it felt like a bad date that never ended, but i hoped it would get better. Apparently, I should have looked at the reviews first, because it was so annoying to listen to how "beautiful" the main character was, like she somehow was only defined by her beauty, and the plot had SO much potential but was so poorly executed I will likely never read another one of Mary Kubicas books again. The writing style was annoying, and I dont know if its because i was listening to it, it because I just dont like the style. It was overall pretty disappointing as far as peaks and climaxes of plots go. Genuinely felt like a waste of time.

I mean this was fine. It was kind of slow and boring. Most of it I did see coming except one thing, but at that point I was just like whatever about the story. I also hate how we can’t have just a happy couple to be honest like the affair did not even make sense. Honestly I would probably skip this one.
