I started out with mixed feelings on this book. It is about 3 women married to one man. They don't live together and are not supposed to contact each other. By agreement, they have their own certain days that they see their husband. This story is told through one of those wives. Even though I don't understand that kind of lifestyle, I was open to it. The biggest problem I had was how submissive this wife was. Trying to do anything she could to please her husband. She was weak and a bit irritating. It was really hard to read. But as we go along, she starts to change. She gets tired of how they are each treated. At about halfway through the book something happens that turns the whole story around. It was then that I found I could hardly put the book down. Once finished, all I could keep saying was "that was crazy!".
