3.0
Very short (I finished this in 25 minutes) and a little weird but vividly described and well written.
This is a book that grew on me, as when I first finished my thoughts were quite negative but looking back 15 hours later, I find myself feeling a lot more positive about the book and plot. Definitely a thought provoking one.

'She was alive, and although if anyone were to find out the truth, they would seek to brand her a monster. They would be wrong; she was now so much more than Juliet Carlson.'
Plot
Juliet Carlson is trapped in an abusive marriage with an older man, who she once thought was perfect. One night after one of their arguments, Juliet goes for a walk on the beach, where she meets an intriguing boy, who gives her a way out of her misery.
My Thoughts
I was given a free copy of this in exchange for a review. I've never really been into short stories, because I love a book that I can really get into and build a connection with the characters.
This short story is made up of seven chapters, including an epilogue and was very enjoyable to read. As this was a fairly long short story, I was able to build a connection with Juliet and the story developed well and was easy to follow. I didn't feel like this one was rushed at all, the pace was quick, but there was still plenty of detail.
