Let me first say that I have read MAJORITY of Ms.west books and absolutely loved all of them. She has a great talent in writing, and a very humongous imagination. However, this is one book she wrote that didn't live up to its full potential. The title is great, and the plot is even greater, but it's missing a few things that could make it awesome. Not much details on how they met, or the events that lead up to the abuse. Also, some stuff didn't add up and made it seem unrealistic. For a man to be that evil and abusive, in real life most men would control the ladies paycheck, as well as actions outside of the home. It confused me how she only ate when HE allowed her too, as well as her every move...but she was free to leave home to go to work and have money in her pocket to buy herself some food. Then he continues to complain about how she embarrasses him because of her appearance, and yet she was able to convince him to go on an outing with her and her friends. On top of that, he is clearly in complete control over her, and yet he feels the need to lie to her about searching for a job. All of that doesn't add up. When it said "short story" I didn't expect it to be that short, and without much details on the characters. Just like another viewer stated, its a good "SHORT" story to pass the time, even though it left many unanswered questions, as well as certain things not adding up.
