It wasn’t all bad; I think the two lives that Marian and Hadley both led existing as parallels was brilliant. I just think the time jumps were weird and it took me 100+ pages to feel any sort of connection to either story line.
I also take off stars when there are unnecessary assault scenes (not one, not two, but too many.) There are plenty of other ways to make a point without detailing something so incredibly horrific on more than one occasion.

The author is clearly a good writer and has a way with words, but I was too disappointed by the frequent dysfunctional sexual scenarios that played out multiple times in the first 30 pages alone. It was too disturbing for me to continue onward. The storyline/plot is very interesting and I wish these scenes hadn’t been written so graphically and frequently. Takes away from the rest of the story.knittingtipsy's review against another edition
