I thought I’d heard enough about this book to have it be spoiled - I was wrong. A lot darker that I ever imagined, in the best way. Raw, unfiltered human thought and emotion. The “1984” of marriage. Delightfully difficult. The ending truly is the best part.
Little to no character diversity, but it’s due to the setting which is fair.
