Then Hannah starts showing up to your coffee dates with telltale bruises, and you realize she’s being abused by her husband. Who, of course, is also your husband. But you’ve never known him to be violent, ever.
Who exactly is your husband, and how far would you be willing to go to find out?
And who is his mysterious third wife?
I liked this for the most part, but found it dragged in a few places for some reason. Also, I knew what the plot twist was going to be the first time we hear about her going into the hospital, so it was somehwat predictable. The end was interesting, though.
On the one hand, this was hella entertaining. But it was ridiculously stupid. Here's a link to a video which encapsulates all of that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE5n7auyLs0&t=1193s
