★☆☆☆☆
Contrived
The book is well written and well paced, but the story is awfully contrived. The mother-in-law scheming was too much to believe. Why did she go on the offense on Emily on the first day she met her? It did not make sense that Adam decided to cancel the wedding at the last moment when he learned that his mother had cancer. And it didn’t make sense that Emily, who was pregnant and in love with Adam, did not chose to get married before the baby was born. The motives of the mother in law are revealed only on the last chapter, but such revelation makes the story even less plausible. (Spoiler alert:) If Adam was such a murderous psychopath, he’d have revealed his true colors to Emily much sooner, regardless of whether they were married or not. So what was the point of trying to stop the marriage? If the mother in law wanted to protect Emily she should have stayed close to her, instead of alienating her. I hope that the next book of the author will be more solid and better constructed
