⭐️⭐️⭐️: Nothing too special. I would recommend it depending on the mood.

Let me make one thing very clear. I hate Adam with a burning passion. Adam is the type of man I am referring to when I explain how men are really, really not a necessity in a society. He is plainly disgusting and the more I read, the more I despised him. Moreover, there has never been a relationship where the: "When a relationship falls apart both have responsibility; he and his mother". I mean, I didn't know who was worse, she or her offspring. This book took me a lot of time to read because every time I picked it up these two were up to some kind of stupidity.

Adam and Sarah is the typical case of a capable, hard-working, successful woman convincing herself that a less than mediocre man, who offers absolutely nothing positive to her life and only takes, is the love of her life. I came pretty soon to the realization that the only reason she ended up with him was because she didn't have a strong support system to advice her otherwise.

It is a page-turner and I kept reading as I had a pile of unanswered questions. Sadly, some of them were never answered and the end felt a little bit rushed and incomplete.
