Well....it wasn't bad. There are probably better books to spend your time on though.
The subject matter is difficult obviously, and mostly I thought the author did a good job dealing with it.
However, I actually found it easier to read the past scenes than the present ones. The present was just boring and depressing. It took me way longer to read this than it should have considering the length. I just dreaded picking it up most of the time. The timeline jumped around a little too much, I would have preferred them to be in separate chapters. Also, I was kind of mad that nothing was said to Ethan's wife before the wedding? And the ending felt a bit clichéd. Additionally, the Book of the Month site had this labelled as suspense which....it just was not.
On a positive note, I was happy for Delilah and Lex's last intereactions near the end. I also was happy with Lex's attitude toward her mom. It felt like a nice change of pace from stories of endless forgiveness and a realistic reaction.
side note: I have been very underwhelmed with the book of the month picks lately.
