This story is more about melodrama than intrigue. The misunderstandings and false starts are just banal this far into the story.

The intrigue portion of the story feels like it was added in to give the story bite but it just feels contrived at this point.

This story reminds me of 'As the World Turns' meets 'Misery'.

I'm really trying to finish this book but it is overly verbose and descriptive. I want to skip over the detail to get to the story.

I understand Evie's matter of speech with her background but all the other characters speak too 'properply'. Most people use lots of contractions in their speaking. The loss (or reduced use) is VERY noticeable. Makes conversations seem drawn out.
