Real review 3.5 ☆ 

This book was a really fast read, like O'Neill's other works it handled in a complex topic in simple language. I like that cos it makes it more accessible for different types of people to read. 
It was nice seeing emotional abuse being portrayed in a book as too often books I've seen tend only show physical or sexual abuse in a relationship. Sarah was an exhausting character and I think the book shows that no matter how insufferable she is, she still is deserving of a loving relationship. I wish the book showed Sarah reaching out for actual professional help instead of handling it all herself in the end. An okay read overall

It's more of a 4 star than a 5 star book, but the second to last chapter really hit me.
