This was the first book I have read by this author, but it will certainly not be my last. The overall pace of this book is quite slow, as the events take place over a short time period, but things are drawn out using flashbacks. In fact, it took me a few chapters to get straight in my mind what the time line of events were. I found the overall layout of the book slightly irritating, and was not a fan of Fi as a character. She seemed to me for most of the book a very unsubstantial person. Almost a push over, in that she was taken for a ride by her husband and also this new lover (Toby/Mike).
There’s a decent twist at the end of the book that I did not see coming. In fact, there was one character who ended up having a central role whom I completely skipped over - for some reason I saw her as an older woman not a young mother with kids similar to Fi.
I have to be honest that the format of this novel did not sit well with me at all. I found the majority of Fi’s narration boring and uninspired. I looked forward to Bram’s storyline far more.
The pace of the novel picked up considerably during the last couple of chapters and I was not expecting that ending at all. Bram showed he had a bit of back bone after all. I wholeheartedly recommend this read to others.
