I found it hard to get through the first few chapters. As a reader I found it a bit unnecesary, I am sure the author had a good reason to put it there but i didn't see it.

Those different dynamics brought out who Maggie really was, she's kind, understanding, strong and she just wants to be let out of her cage.

I think it was just too easy the way she forgave her husband, this guy has been sleeping around for the better part of her husband and she forgives him just like that. That didn't seem realistic to me.

Other than that I thought it was a good story and the main four characters are what made the stories the others were just a distraction.… (plus d'informations)

Note: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the overall story; it was very convincing in the outcome and telling. The interactions between the characters is thought-provoking to read and fascinating to follow. I did find the description to be lacking in parts mainly concerning the towns and in others like the horses there was an abundance of explanation. It is an enjoyable follow up to her first novel.
