  • Despised this book—absolutely abhorrent. 
  • Literally every bad thing that could happen, did. I find it absolutely unbelievable.
    • Pregnant by rape, abandoned by husband because her thought her unpure, reconnects with rapist, husband comes back after years, she murders the rapist, and then she gets hanged. WTAF
  • The writing was beautiful in some places; however, it was MOSTLY arduous to read. Likely because it was originally a serial.
