Slow start and it didn’t get going till page 142 but while I found Sara’s choices frustrating by the end i felt i understood her and the situation she was in. 

Also felt like it needed editing especially in the early chapters and i know the author can write as i enjoy her non fiction pieces so this was incredibly disappointing.
