    Found it Difficult Read
    I found this book very difficult to get into and finish. I think the storyline was interesting though the structure was what made it hard to follow and made it not hold my interest. I did not like the author's style of writing.
  • Rosemary T. (San Antonio, TX)
    The Half Wives
    It was a struggle for me to finish The Half Wives by Stacia Pelletier as I found the storyline to be very depressing. It is hard to relate to anyone who would wallow in grief and guilt for 14 years. However, the husband and wife seemed to embrace their misery and let it define who they became. As a result, bad decisions were made which ultimately affected two other people. It was a relief when I finished the book.
