3.0
The ending of this book made all that had gone before pointless.
"Young" characters portrayed as almost laughably childish and yet are somehow also given far too much agency in the aftermath of their father's affair. These disparate views made a lot of the second half of the book utterly unbelievable and slightly ridiculous.
