This story didn't resonate with me because I couldn't like or even empathize with the main character. The majority of her dilemma was brought on by poor decision making and painting herself as the victim while being obsessed with her adulterous affair. She acted like a prisoner trapped in a loveless marriage and couldn't escape because her daughter wouldn't handle a divorce. HOWEVER found it no problem to sleep with her husband's deranged best friend and blow her family apart contributing to the demise of her daughter's father and creating a public scandal thus harming her daughter and family anyway. Not to mention I figured out the best friend and the husband were the ones that orchestrated the kidnapping by the within the first few chapters. Micah just didn't seem normal his reactions to everything was too calm and calculated. None of his reactions or behavior was close to normal or making any type of sense. And she was too blind to see the obvious 99.9% of the time because she was too caught up in hating her husband and lusting after Micah. She was a wimpy character for me and it was challenging to make it through because of her poor judgment, pitiful discernment, and knowing what was going to eventually happen.
