Ugh. I hate to write this review because I really enjoy Sally Hepworth.  I loved this book until about the last 10-15 pages and then it fell apart.  It's hard for me to say what I didn't like without giving things away.  But I'll say this, women deserve better.  I also have to add an asterisk to this review because I know that the ending changed.  I sought out the changes and while I appreciate the changes that were made, I was still left with a bad taste.  So my review feels hard and I wish I could go back in tile and read the book after publication, without bias.
