Is it too much to say I hated this long book? The protagonist is inconsistent. When I first started reading this I thought (and hoped) we were going to have a strong fmc, but ended up having Diana do a 180 to become frail and submissive in a span of a few weeks. It is astonishing how many times someone can black out, pass out from being tired and have attention draw to their eating habits in the span of a few chapters.
