3.0

This book read like a play but I struggled with what exactly I walked away with by the end of it all. It is divided into 3 perspectives: the wife, the husband, and Temi the best friend of the wife. All of the characters are flawed in an unlikeable way. I feel like there was interesting commentary about who exactly 'The wife" is outside of her pleasing her family, husband, and best friend but it seemed so poorly executed that her wish-washy behavior just irritated me. This book had potential but in the end it just fell flat for me.
