This book was good, however it ended up being a 1 star. As it dealt with a lot of domestic violence and that the guy doing it would re-vert what happened so it didn't look like his fault

My actual rating for this book is 3.5, but I rounded it to 4.  I enjoyed the characters and the story, but there were a ridiculous number of issues in this book.
