Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is all right. I enjoy the concept in the writing style, but I truly didn’t care about any of the characters including Beatrice. Women don’t always need to be some crazy badass, but have some backbone. Like why did Beatrice seem whatever about her husband cheating on her? Beatrice‘s family are unrepentant about lying to her, manipulate her throughout the novel and shun her until she does something for them and she still forgives them by the end– not that they actually apologized. I was over it by 20% of the way in. I love books with older female characters, but please have some sort of backbone or strength because I can’t stand a character that lets others walk all over her and doesn’t become more assertive of her boundaries during her arc.
