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 aboutthe 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.
