Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was a fast paced page turner with short chapters that kept me wanting to go on to the next one. I found following Evelyn’s story highly enjoyable and Evelyn herself fascinating and sometimes inspiring. It was exciting to find out how each husband fit into her narrative. There were a good amount of mysteries set up along the way that made me want to learn the answers. The twists were not mind blowing, but they were good. I found Monique less interesting and I felt that some of her inner monologues tipped into cheesy, but she tied things together and was in the book so little that her presence didn’t take anything away. I didn’t love Celia as a person- she is petty and jealous most of the time- but I appreciate how her relationship with Evelyn was handled and how her flaws were acknowledged. I like that the characters were flawed and grappled with those flaws! I also appreciated the final story 😭; it was a good ending!
