 Well it started off promising, but went downhill somewhere along the line. Uma is on the run and takes a job with an evil old lady. Now this old lady ended up having a very sad back story, that's revealed towards the end of the book, but to me that didn't excuse the way she treated Uma most of the story. The next door neighbor is Ivan. He was a genuinely nice and considerate guy, even if he had a bit of a temper. He was the highlight of the story, because (even I felt bad for her) Uma just got on my nerves for some reason. Even when she and Ivan were getting down and dirty (which was pretty hot at times) she was comparing him to Joey (the abuser). What Joey did before, what Joey would be doing, blah blah. It was reallllly a mood killer to hear about Joey in the middle of a sex scene. Another thing that killed it was that Uma was mostly in control during their sex scenes. Personally, this just isn't my cup of it. 
 What I liked was the ending and how everything turned out with the psycho who'd abused Uma. And that there was a happy ending.
