I enjoyed the characters in this book although I will say that I didn't picture them to be as old as they were. The book seemed to place an emphasis on the fact that sometimes shame is a powerful driving force but that you can do the right thing and be honest as secrets never help in the end. 

I liked the stubbornness of both characters and how they changed for the better but that their core characteristics were always good. The secondary characters were interesting and good additions, I felt like they were meant to be there and helped to build the story.

I enjoy Lucy Score's writing style and I think that it's impressive that a 570 page book did not feel like a long book to read. The pace was good and the story developed in a natural way and I finished it in two days easily.
