It should have been 100 pages long instead of over 400. At one point, she said, "Hi" to her stepmother on the phone and then packed in two or three paragraphs about his the parents didn't like cell phones and technology before her stepmother responded, "How are you?" This, coupled with the fact that the main character is an intolerant, condescending snob makes this book hard to finish. It's hard to root for a character who thinks she's so above it all that she writes a book about how other women should have known their husbands weren't marriage material. ### ⭐⭐ Too Many Unanswered Questions *by J***9 on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2014* SPOILER ALERT QUESTIONS: If anyone who's read this book can anwer these questions for me, I'd want to hug you! First, why was Malaga Alves invited to the school's committee meeting that took place in the first part of book? She clearly was invited, but it was never indicated why she would have been since she didn't participate in the committee. Also, what was the point of the graphic depiction of the breastfeeding scene? At the school fundraising party, what was the point that Jonathan (the husband) showed up but then left without his wife ever having seen him? At first, I thought he'd lied about it, until one of the party-goers indicated he'd been seen there. Also, at the party, what was the point about the woman, who was never identified, crying in the bathroom? Are we to assume it was Malaga Alves? Maybe she'd seen Jonathan, and that's why she was crying? And maybe he left the party because he saw her there? (Since these topics were never addressed again, I could only make those assumptions.) So many more questions. How exactly did the murder occur? How did the detectives connect Jonathan to the murder? I don't know how Grace, as the wife, wouldn't be asking more questions. And it seemed whenever something wanted to offer up something useful (like when the doctor asked how her husband had been), she always just fled the scene instead of asking anything. So frustrating!I was torn whether to give this book one or two stars, but decided on two because of the fact that it kept my interest and kept me reading throughout. So, while there were obvious plot holes and shortcomings, as noted in all of the other one and two star reviews, I gave it an extra just for the interest factor. But the fact still remains that this book fell way flat. I'd say about 50 paragraphs too many were given to Grace's constant droning about what a wonderful, caring, giving doctor her husband was. I just started glossing over those after a while, since they were so repetitive.Also, I couldn't help but note how often Grace would scoff at how pretentious and judgmental her fellow private school parents were, but that she often conveyed the same level of snobbiness, arrogance, and judgment as they did. One instance was in how she immediately judged the quality of one detective's suit. And how obviously jealous she was of one woman's collection of Birkin bags, especially since she herself only had one - one that she'd so desperately wanted and finally received from her husband. Those are just a couple of examples. She, for the most part, was just completely unlikable to me, and I felt no compassion for her or connection to her.This book had potential to be good, but it just wasn't. It's like it was a draft that was completed haphazardly in time to meet a deadline. I'd love to see a well-refined do-over on this one! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed it. Yes *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017* I ordered this as a Kindle 1st book and then was kind of disheartened by the negative reviews so I waited to read it. Well, I really enjoyed it. Yes, she is verbose and sometimes I just stopped reading because I didn't want all that extra detail, but I thought it was a well-drawn character study of a woman who thought she knew her life - made a profession out of helping others know their lives - and was wrong. I could totally relate to Grace's character, as someone in a marriage that turns out not to be what she thought it was. Also, I have a sibling who lives in NYC and shares the same snobbishness Grace has, so related to that as well. And the family dynamic - if you're from the northeast (specifically New England area) you keep a stiff upper lip and present a good front. As for the ending, to me it represented hope. No cleanly tied up ends, but what in real life offers that? I enjoyed it - looked forward every day to reading more. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/951667-you-should-have-known](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/951667-you-should-have-known) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
