At the end it talks about her beliefs on women's health. Perhaps this was her way of addressing the issue? Either way, I thought it did add another layer of suspense...J_odoyo wrote: ↑06 Jul 2019, 07:21I agree with you, the book could have still remained an enjoyable read even without including sexual content.

I agree with some others that it was a great opportunity to show a villainous side of Dan, but it wasn't realized. It seemed like it was just thrown in as a plot twist that went nowhere and didn't impact her life at all.

I agree. It was distracting and not necessary.

I agree about Dan. I really thought when he went through all of her things he must have found SOME evidence of Sky. (The condoms he gave her, the tests, the perscripton, letters, etc) I was just waiting to see what he would do with his findings.heatherashley7 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2019, 15:58 I personally think it was Dan, this may sound far fetched but he did change her sheets so he had to see the letters. One of the letters mentioned the pregnancy and then he was in her bathroom and could have easily crushed the one prescription to mix it in with medicine. I think the author missed a golden opportunity to pin it on the villain in this book.
The situation as a whole was very hard to read after already reading about the Plan B and the second prescription. This plot line was HORRIBLE in my opinion.
I was also a bit peeved (maybe jealous) that she was able to recover for 2 days in a care center. I suffered a miscarriage in March of this year and I had to buy pads and survive it at home.

That is actually a REALLY good idea, and i don't think it would be far-fetched at all - i had actually been wondering while i was reading, like, if he went into her bathroom how did he not find the condoms OR the plan B OR the abortion medicine? it felt far-fetched, to me, that he wouldn't have noticed any of that. it almost seems like the author set it up to reveal that and just...forgot, LOL. for me, it would have made the plotline worth it, creating more empathy for Cynthia and hatred for Dan, but aside from that? take it OUUTTT.heatherashley7 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2019, 15:58 I personally think it was Dan, this may sound far fetched but he did change her sheets so he had to see the letters.

p.s. i felt like her "forgetting" she was pregnant was such a bad move for several reasons, but for the sake of the story - it would have been so easy to make her take the test early and be happy that she was pregnant, maybe prepare for the baby in secret, to build up empathy. the miscarriage would have been so much more impactful!! it seemed sudden without that. and tbh, without the plot that Dan did it, and without some kind of event to have caused the miscarriage...it wasn't really impactful at all, y'know.
