4.75
4.75 STARS. 1/4 star reduction because I was so utterly confused this entire time and had no idea what was going on or what would happen next. But that’s almost the whole point — why WOULD I understand the inner workings and language of a marriage I’m not part of? Absolutely brilliant writing, storytelling, and character development.
