I feel like nothing happened to push the story forward. I didn't get the connection between the two main characters that would cause them to harbour feelings for years and ruin lives. 
I would've loved more details about Natalia mother suicide as it was used to explain her bad choices. 

Why bring up the story line with Aubrey & the military guy if there was not closing or follow through.
