Unfortunately this book takes about 200 pages to truly get interesting. Caroline's story is equally predictable and infuriating. Nella and Eliza could have carried the story on their own, though the three perspectives read very similar in tone and personality. 
Far too much mention of fertility, pregnancy and "the womb" for my personal taste
