    WHAT??? changing pronouns is totally confusing and did nothing for the story, plot line, or social commentary. Fix the last 2-3 chapters...
  • Wow

    During this entire read i kept reminding myself how blessed I am to have a caring,loving and understanding husband. The ending was something I never saw coming and had to re-read the beginning of the book and ending again to be sure I got it right . This book just goes to show that things aren’t always what they seem .
  • Great book until the end

    I agree completely with the other review with the same title. The plot twist makes the read seem like a waste of time.
  • DUMB!

    It was really great up until the last two chapters. If this author thinks that just changing the pronouns makes it shocking, she’s wrong! It was just confusing and stupid! Sal’s name is Sally, Sal was pregnant...you can’t just suddenly make her a man to turn your story in husband abuse

    I absolutely loved the book, up until the ending. The plot twist was nothing what I expected. It left me feeling like I read the entire book incorrectly; making me unhappy and a bit frustrated. The rest of the book was wonderfully written.
  • Abrupt ending

    An easy read sharing both sides of the story. Lack of depth in touching on Charlie’s past. Super abrupt ending.
  • Great!

    I don't understand why there was the need for the great plot twist. It was very compelling and then it turned into a bunch of nonsense. I liked it until the last 10 pages and then it felt like a waste of time.
