Minor: Death of parent
This was a fast read, filled with the horror of being trapped in a marriage by an abusive husband. There are alot of triggers, so this book is not for every one. Mrs. Constantine did an excellent job with character development and bringing the storyline all together for a great climax! I will be moving forward with reading Book 2.rochelleisreading's review against another edition

I gave up on this book twice because it was torture to read another page about Ms. Amber.
However, the second half of the book grasped me deeply. I ate it up. It was emotional and l surprising.
This book could be a 5/5 as a movie. But because I had to gaslight myself into finishing it (since I bought it. And I might as well get through it), it's a 3.25.
I just say, try try again with this book. You'll probably love it in the end.
**edit to add, it's grown on me a bit and I may read it again in the future and disect it. 4.0 for sure lol**
