Audible was good but the story was SUPER heavy. The triggers are child abuse and cutting. If I would’ve known this, I wouldn’t have bought it. Just not my thing.
I could not warm up to Emerson at all. Makes me feel like an asshole since she was the victim of child abuse. She was kind of awful. Very little redeeming qualities. She wasn’t nice, she wasn’t friendly, she wasn’t loyal, she wasn’t forgiving, she wasn’t honest or open - yet she sure did expect all of that at Grant, which he did do, but noticed none of it. Grant was so good. Too much so. I actually wished they wouldn’t of ended up together.
Also, the overarching sentiment that Grant always loved Emmy but only thought about her occasionally over 20 years and they parted at 8 years old - nope. That makes no sense.
Also, stating Emerson was a strong woman made no sense. She never dealt with her trauma, would always run the moment life got too real, needed Grant to intervene with the loan officer. Emerson was stubborn not strong.
