I love Eloise but I have to give up on the series after this. Phillip is consistently emotionally abusive and out to find a mother for his kids rather than develop as a character and it sucks that most of the book focuses on him rather than Eloise. Eloise is reduced from being a witty intelligent character to playing mum to some kids and accepting that she can never ever be sad in her relationship with Phillip. The treatment of Marina and her depression in this book is horrible. I hope the TV show does justice to Eloise, because she deserved better.
