Yes. I felt really guilty after reading it because it didn't feel like it was appropriate to "rate" due to the content. But I straight-up despised the book? And I don't think that it's fair for me to feel weird about disliking it for its "theme" when I felt that the choices made in that book completely counteracted/undermined its message. It felt like an odd choice to me that the book (that's advertised as being about ending the cycle of DV) ended on this spoon-fed excitement towards the potential of a rekindled relationship with another man and not an epilogue or moment solely centered around this woman and her daughter living a life free from an abuser. And the fact that there is a whole ass sequel about their rekindled romance kind of fortifies that point that it was disrespectful and irresponsible. I had many (MANY) more issues with that book, but that one really irked me.
