Two things:
1) I support women's wrongs.
2) they had it coming
This was quite a ride. Very slow to start and I had problems wanting to pick it up and keep going, but boy oh boy am I glad I did.
All three of our main characters were intricately flawed and completely different from one another. And yet their stories flowed so well together. Although I found Eliza to be more annoying than lovable her innocence in the story was necessary.
My only "negatives" are that I would have absolutely loved more of Nella's story. I want to know what her life was like before...the incident...and I want to know more of what happened AFTER! When I got to the somewhat epilogue I was hoping more would be revealed, but it wasn't really anything.
