Terribly written on every level. Characters and plot were unbelievable, one note, and tiresome. Extremely contrived composition shtick (“before” and “after”) that did not serve any purpose in telling the story. Not a plot twist or suspenseful moment in the whole damn thing, nor an interesting or likable character to root for.

Sentences and paragraphs were clobbered together. The author does not know the meaning of several words that she chose to use anyway, especially when they sound hoity-toity (e.g., “The doctor and I decided amongst ourselves that we would increase her sessions to two times per week.” You mean “between,” there are only two people involved, and P.S., you're not British.) The writing was distractingly bad throughout.
