Happy reading Yun. ♥
I was eyeing this book in the library yesterday and now I am glad I did not borrow it. Thanks for the review Yun!
Omiword, hypocrisy and a dose of frustrating mixed up storylines, thy name is Mad Wife! Thank you for your honest review, Yun! I’m convinced this need not go anywhere near my tbr pile! 😆❤️
the lack of communication alone would drive me bloody mad! i am certainly a lover of the '50s – and i understand that social norms and expectations were much different then – but when a story relies on excessive silence to create conflict, i just can't do it. very grateful for this review; i suspect it saved me a massive headache!
Well, it is a bad sign when you think that the author has no idea where the book is going ;) I am sorry that this book didn't deliver. Great review, Yun! :)

Haha, right? Thanks, Alexandra! :)
I'm sorry to hear that this one missed the mark for you. I completely understand though. You explain it so clearly. Hopefully you're next book is a winner again.
Honest review Yun! I am a little bummed now as I’ve seen 3 back to back 2⭐️reviews already and this is coming up in 2 weeks for me on Libby. Perhaps I’ll suspend it for now, and when I want to read something wishywashy I’ll pick this one up :)
Well this makes me sad. I am eagerly awaiting my copy from the library. I'll lessen my expectations!
Thanks for sharing your disappointing experience with this read, Yun. Have seen some great reviews and not so great. The book did not seem like my cup of tea and your review confirms it.☕

Oh no!! I was really looking fwd to this one so will need to manage my expectations....Fair review, Yun!
I enjoyed this one way more than you did, but I can see where you’re coming from with regard to the ending. I’m sorry this one disappointed you, Yun. Hopefully you’ll love your next. ❤️
