![]() ![]() If it had been a better and more nuanced book, I could have accepted that, or taken it as a critique of the effects domestic violence can have (Stockholm syndrome, that kind of thing). so that it was STILL about what was best for him, rather than what was best for her. I was especially bothered by how Cassie's decision to "out" her husband as abusive was framed as her realizing that she had to make him hate her, because she would always love him. Disappointing (and a romance novel would have cost less, frankly). But toward the end I realized that it was basically just a romance novel dressed up to look like something more serious. ![]() I spent most of the book thinking that it was going to focus on how difficult it is to honestly connect with someone who is constantly acting, or even maybe something about how the romance novels Cassie read during her marriage had contributed to her putting up with abuse. Underwhelming treatment of domestic violence with a weak ending. ![]()
