This was just a bit better than ok for me, 2.5 stars rounded down. I almost kicked it to the curb after the first few pages but persisted and it definitely got more readable. I enjoyed the story most of the way, and the different perspectives in each part. But melodrama prevailed, to my chagrin, with a predictable ending. Also some annoying tropes and lack of depth. More pages were needed to flesh out this story.
