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.
