It was fine until you found out that Lydia’s husband is the “Monster”. I literally laughed out loud. So she was beaten and starved and shot and left for dead by him and even knew it was Luca yet she decides to go to his house and eventually works for him in a blackmail scheme? So she really just wanted money? And then we find out that Merritt planned the whole thing including finding Luca and changing him into this so called successful businessman? Not to mention she let him beat and torture a women for 9 years, saying he did it for too long?? Not a great message of empowerment for women. I guess Merrit couldn’t start restaurants on her own, she uses an imposter? The ending of this book is so ludicrous. I can’t find any other review pointing any of this out. Good thing it was free on kindle.
