The book at times is so funny and so painful at the same time. It had me laughing and cringing and hurting from one moment to the next.
I loved the outburst scene when Helen confronts Nicola at last but after that I felt like the pacing was just a bit of. We were working up to that moment for the whole book and then after it just kind of fell flat for me I suppose.
