The book was plainer than bread. But it helped me get out of my reading slump so I may thank it for that. The characters felt flat and I was disappointed in Eloise as a character as she does a 180 and turns into a way to agreeable housewife who loves children. Why couldn’t conflicts last longer than 20 pages ? The book was slow paced but then in the same breath glossed over huge parts of relational development (reference to the children). Point being that the book left much to be desired in particular my vested interest.
