DNF @ 10% the prose is not working for me and I do not enjoy reading about people who let people cross boundaries that they set years ago.

The first epistolary novel to actually work for me. Can’t believe it took me so long to read it.

Husbands & Lovers by Beatriz Williams

I did not make it far in this one. I could tell within the first two chapters that this one was not for my demographic (28, single, childless). I will still recommend it to other readers, but depends on the kind of reader!
The writing is great, but I found myself not wanting to pick it up due to the plot and characters.
