Series follows the lives of various women but focuses more on one though they are all connected. Started out descent and at a good pace. The plot develops with ease. Just when you thought it was smooth sailing, turbulence hits, then the calm and then the really, really, was it necessary and why ending. No happily ever after, no victory ending. It was like “really, after all of that, this is how it ends. If you’re looking for a sweet romance this is not it. If you’re looking for a heartfelt romantic drama I would place it in this category however because of the nature of the series in the events that took place as well as the ending I didn’t care for it that much. I wouldn’t even call this a bittersweet romance. Just sad, not even tragic.
