I feel this book's premise is a bit misleading. I had hoped to find a deliciously gothic romance with some dark undertones, but what I found was the repetitive tale of a woman stuggling with her mental health.
The writing may be nice, there are a couple of good quotes, but there's not a whole lot of plot. This is 100% character driven and the protagonist is not one I could easily relate to or even empathize with.
The romance was poorly done in my opinion. It was too simple, almost instantaneous and the love interest sounded like a teacher or a therapist.
When I got to the ending, it was not exciting nor really satisfying. If anything, I found the protagonists attitude a bit annoying. So, unfortunately, I did not enjoy this book.
