Sorry, but am I supposed to believe that he had a sudden "change of heart" right at the end? Because I don't. No way is someone who ignored his wife's pregnancy (and her as well) for its entirety, going to suddenly have an epiphany about how crummy he has been. And Sarah? She is both delusional, thinking he would one day fall in love with her, and has a serious martyr complex to put up with all that simply because she wants to "fix" him. I don't know just what all is different from the novels (one comment below suggest Sarah has more depth and background in the novel, while another states that Rome actually tries or at least thinks of trying to harm their child), but this basically reads like a How To guide for creating toxic relationships, while at the same time trying to tack on a sappy "happy" ending in the hopes that no one realizes how toxic this situation would be in real life.
