I thought this debut book had a good foundation. There was enough back story to follow along. A single mom escaping an abusive relationship meets the hot guy in the small town she landed in. We see how their relationship developes. I felt there were some long wordy episodes repeating information already provided. The twist was not surprising enough. This would've dock 1/4 of a point, but I felt the author made an effort , especially with the kid's storyline and the mental health representation. I rounded up.
