This was a hard one to rate, for me. It incorporates the super timely trad wife controversies and felt really unique in that regard. I'm a little biased because I find that phenomenon fascinating. On the other hand, I sometimes felt like it incorporated too much scene detail. Little moments about what characters were doing during conversations helped me visualize the moment but also felt unnecessary sometimes. Also, it was difficult to suspend my disbelief about those conversations at times. Like Finn immediately getting that close to Del. It was almost explainable once we knew his involvement, but not really when he says he wasn't involved from the start. It's hard to put my finger on it, but something about the writing style felt off. Overall, I did enjoy the story, though, and was left with the impression that the author was onto something special.
