4.5

 I toyed between a 4 and a 5 rating for this one because it had some problematic issues in it. Sophie was an unreliable narrator and honestly, pretty annoying. She made terrible decisions and I just wanted to ask every one of the wives why it was so hard to resist getting wasted every night. Also I didn't love the whole underaged love story but they did mention that 17 is not considered underaged in Texas.

Overall I rated it a 4.5 because I devoured this book in 24 hours and truly could not put it down. It had so many twists and turns and kept me on my toes. I would think that I had figured it out and then another twist would come and I would doubt my original thoughts. Also just have to add that Graham seems like a complete gem and I feel bad for him.
