I really liked this at first and it was a quick read, but it really unraveled for me
once she got pregnant.
It’s a shame, because I think it could have been really interesting for the author to explore how someone with brain damage changes once
pregnancy
starts to affect their brain, but instead we got a weirdly boring
devolution
that didn’t seem to have much thought behind it. Just a cliche way to get to where the author wants to be for the sequel. 

Also I’ll admit I’m sad about
the way she killed AJ. I kind of wanted to see if Rhiannon could push him into being complicit and instead he just gets murdered right away.
Boo.
