Forced myself to finish this book because I received it a gift. The first 75% of this was very difficult for me to read. It felt like a cheap way to represent a mother’s insecurities and discomfort. The last 25% was better but still with a cheap and unoriginal end. There was plot added at the last second without resolution which would be fine if it served a purpose. Yeah it didn’t? I don’t know… I don’t think I would let my enemy read this let alone a friend… cheers!
