OMG! This was a book that just when you thought you knew what was going on, hit you with another twist. I would've liked the twists to have been sprinkled throughout the book instead of in the last 10-15%. I do think the novel did a great job of answering all those questions but, it was still a lot for just a few short chapters to hold. The writing was great, I loved that eventually the narrator gave us different viewpoints of women, and that the story was engaging. It was one of those that drew you in and wouldn't let you go. Regardless I adored this book and am so glad that I gave it a chance.
