This book is not one that I'd recommend or read again. At first, I was quite happy to have gotten my hands on it as it sounded interesting, and at the start that was the case, but about halfway through the whole tone of the book changed -- not only that, but the the grammar and editing just went down the drain. The book wasn't the same anymore and you could see it in the way it was written as well as the way the characters behaved. All-in-all the book was truly disappointing.

This book also falls prey to one of the more annoying trends I've seen in literature and film of late: the belief that the man is always in the wrong and that if he does anything that qualifies as "saving" the woman then he's insulting her, and he's an awful human being for doing it. Is there parts where he is in the wrong? Yes, and yet those parts rarely get addressed and are glossed over so easily. Yet this was not one of those times. Now, in some cases this can be written well, but in this book when the female main got all upset over this I wanted to strangle her as she wasn't the only one who'd pay if caught in what she'd done so what he did was smart — reasons aside. Then to redeem himself, and so that she would not leave him, the male main let her handle a situation that he should not have cause in a realistic situation(let me just say the outcome here is not even slightly so) she'd have made him lose his license as a lawyer. Instead, in order to show that she had changed and was far more worldly like she kept claiming, she should've actually let him handle the matter as he was more experienced in this case. What makes this even worse is that he put all the blame on himself which is part of this trend that I grow to hate cause it has little to do with portraying strong, equal women.
