3/4 stars. 

I honestly was debating on giving this four stars or three. The book itself was great, I love the research that went into this book and the plot was pretty good. However near the end of the book, I found myself nearly gagging at the SA scenes in the book, and I hate the fact the husbands had no consequences from gaslighting their wives, and the protagonist’s son was weirdly obsessed with war world two. Overall I think the book is fine and if you want to read it you should look up the trigger warnings for the book first before buying it. 

Here’s a link with some of the warnings for the book:
