Hmmm I admit I don’t love this as much as I wanted to. It feels like a lot of telling and very little experiencing the moment.
I also feel like I already know how the rest of the story will unfold.
Maybe if I loved the MC more I wouldn’t mind that but she is pretty one dimensional. She’s so kind and ordinary even when she plots murder she feels rather ordinary.

When the villains back story is more interesting than the MC … sigh

Mm it’s well written but the plot is pretty simple so far. Not a lot to enjoy as the topics are all dark. I feel like this whole book is just going to be her finding clues about why her husband is a monster so she can love him enough to kill him.
