Book seemed to get all wrapped up quickly. Everything seemed forced.

Thanks to author,publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free,it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Opens your eyes to the world of women who face each day with fear and terror when living with a monster. I really liked how the story alternated from the two women and their daughters. Really helps the reader to understand each life and how choices affect families. Well done!

I found the first half of the book rather slow but the second half improved as things began to come together in the storyline.
Keely is clearly a rather nasty self-obsessed character, but other than Michelle, for me, the rest of the cast of characters were too slight. I felt that Andrew was not complex enough for his role in the story.
I also got bored at the 80% mark and kipped to the last chapter as I wanted to end the book.

Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC of this book. I enjoyed the first part of this book, but then it dragged a wee bit . Still finished it, but just not for me.

There are those people who have the strength to seemingly always make the right choices. Then there are others due to circumstances beyond their control, who don't or can't. this is a story of two women. One who seems to have everything, except empathy or compassion for those who are as successful as she.. The other lives with an abusive husband and while she would like to leave, she is afraid. A thought provoking book that will stay with you for a long time.

Slow. I read the first several chapters and then skimmed the rest. Pages and pages of her jogging and thoughts of how she feels about working out was a snooze fest.
