"Thank you Netgalley, Boldwood Books and Natasha Boydell for this Arc of The Doll's House.<br/><br/>Here I sit a few hours after finishing this book, trying to figure out what to say in this box....<br/>Although I can't distinctly pick out anything I didn't like about this book, my feelings are quite complicated.. I think my rating is more of a 3.5 rounded up than a 4. I just feel kinda Meh.. <br/><br/>The Prolouge grips you up, it draws you in pretty quick, it's a very fast paced, easy story to read. I found myself falling asleep and waking myself back up saying come on just a little more, I didn't want to put it down, I probably read about 2/3rds of the book then finished the rest in the morning. All that makes it sound like I loved it right.. ehhh there wasn't much to love about it honestly, it was all pretty predictable from the start, you kind of found yourself saying "duhh" to the main character, like hello how did you not expect that to happen next right!? It would be hard for me to think of a character I actually really liked in this story, I mean besides her and her family which is obviously set up to make you feel that way, but all of her friends were pretty generic, none really stood out to make you root for anyone, at one point even the husband was kind of questionable.<br/><br/>One thing I did REALLY LOVE- The second you thought you had it figured out the Author smacked you in the face with another twist. I really loved that, that made a really great ending. But I mean should you have to read a whole book just to finally have an "aha moment" at the end!? No you should be excited about what you're reading all the way through and I just didn't feel it, at the end I was kinda like really!?! Just forgive everyone just like that !? Like i felt like her and her kids were owed a lot more, they kind of went through hell just to get out of it not really gain anything spectacular.. then again the ending where Summer is writing grips you up again and makes you want more. I felt like maybe if we had more of her POV the story might have been a little more exciting.. or maybe confusing.. lol but still it would have gripped you up a bit more.. like what is this wacko going to do next!!?!?! <br/><br/>Funny thing is, with all that said, I can't really think of anything that could have happened to make the story better imo, I felt like everything happened that should have, it's wrapped up. Let's move on the the next"
