I was tempted to stop reading on every page that I read because the male leading character was such a jerk. He was one of the worst male leading characters I have ever read. I do not understand how anyone can root for him or his love story. He disgusted me so much that I could not read any further. I told myself that I should not judge him or the book at this early stage. I should proceed further before making any comments. Alas, I read less than 100 pages before deciding that I could not bear it any longer. It was such a shame because I like the writer's other work. However, this book is unbearable.
