Well to start I found this book hard to get in to, the chapters are short and I found this distracting, each chapter starts with a quote or lesson, I did read them at first but didn't bother by half way through, again found them distracting and pointless.
I started to get past this towards the middle of the book, but took a long time to adjust.
The main part of the story is a housewife who loves her husband they have 3 boys, but life is getting on top of her, and she isn't the person who she thought she would be and is loosing herself. She frustrated, restricted and feels like she is loosing control of her life. She keeps thinking about something/one in her past.
The first part of the book, I found her to just be moaning constantly and instantly didn't like the character if it was a bit more subtle then I would get it, you can feel lost when everything is about your children, but the way she was carrying on I just wanted to tell her if that's the only thing she has to worry about life is too good to her.
Now I started to get into the second part about her childhood it made the first part make sense, I started to get into the rhythm of the book, and I wanted to know where it was leading.
But then the middle (meant to be a sexy book) I found odd and disturbing, a school girl with an older guy, a lot older. Really unsettling, I don't know if you were meant to feel sorry for Tol but I feel he got what he deserved in fact he should of been locked up.
I liked the end of the book, I thought it was heading in a different direction, but I'm so glad it ended the way it did.
I wont be reading again, and I'm not going to recommend, I think there are better books out there and the abuse in the book really puts me off, just felt so wrong as I was reading, I'm not sure if that was the intension.
2/5
