I love character-driven stories, so I would give this one a try

The dark themes sound a bit discouraging tho. Thanks for a great review!

This seems like a great psychological thriller that digs deep into the protagonist's mind. It just needs another round of proofreading to be excellent. Thank you for your terrific review!

I feel for faith. Sometimes I wonder it's difficult to find true happiness and love in a relationship or marriage. That's why the rate of divorce is on the high side. Great review.

It's sad that it is so high. Thanks for reading my review and commenting!

Your review is descriptive. The plot is so interesting, but I'm usually not one to go for books with graphic scenes. Thanks for an awesome review. Enjoyed it!

Good lesson for the ladies, you just don't drop out of school for a boyfriend. I think teenagers should consider this book.
I love the review.

Trust me, I can't bear this story "na only Faith waka come"? (Excuse the local parlance). How did one person suffer so much misery? I think Faith was too weak emotionally and it cost her. Thanks for reviewing this discussion-sparking book, Prisallen.

I can totally relate with this Faith character. I don't know what's happening in our current society. Thank you for your insightful review

I wonder, could you say it was Faith's fault that she had a troubled life when it's clearly a personality issue? Sadly, she couldn't recognize her narcissism and only had to find out the hard way. I think that's the greatest blindspot one could have, not being self-aware about our own tendencies. One thing that I really like is the growth she undergoes as a character. This is an amazing review, I love it!
