What would you do if your father married someone younger than you? What about if he was planning to marry this younger woman while your mother was still alive AND they were still married?
I mean just that is enough to shock, but Hepworth doesn't stop here. She adds in many different psychological dynamics, including kleptomania, stress eating, and let's not forget the many facets of abusive husbandry!
There are three main characters - the 3 thirty-year-old females, 2 sisters and the wife to be. Each of them comes with their own sets of problems.
- Tully - kleptomaniac with various doses of anxiety. One of her children seems to suffer from a case of it, too. But no one is talking about her husband, who happens to make such a bad investment that the family loses millions. I mean, what about this discretion, why is the stealing the big deal?
- Rachel - she was raped, and no one knows. She hides her feelings and eats them away. This comes in handy, as it is disguised in her baking business. But everything is fixed when she meets the perfect mate, Darcy. Right?
- Heather - What does she see in the older man? He's double her age with children her age! Could it be money? I think it's more the daddy issues. I mean her father was the classic abuser, could her husband be too?
That's the real question. Was Stephen, the father and husband, the abuser? There were many clues, but ultimately, I am not fully convinced. However, someone was, right? Given the outcome.
