This book was exhausting because the main character is quite literally so obsessed with her husband that it has the tendency to make the reader feel sick. She puts him over everything, even their children. I thought it was so interesting reading her perspective and I simultaneously felt empathy for her and blind rage, which I think is a mark of good characterization. There's also a little surprise that took me OUT. But I can't really talk about that.
