I've read the reviews, the bad and the good, the bad reviews all said that the protagonist is very stupid, and makes stupid decision after another, and how that is not how life is, that is just not the case, this is exact what this story needs, because in real life, we regret decisions everyday, bad things happen, and you tell yourself: "God! How was I so stupid, why didn't I do this instead, how didn't I see that coming?" We can all relate to that feeling if it came to being betrayed, wasting money or time and especially domestic abuse. And the protagonist has that moment, when she falls back with her abuser, and she realized it was a bad decision, she breaks down and says: how could I be so stupid?
