This book irritated me from beginning to end, the only reason i finished it is because i promised myself this year to finish each book I start reading. This book was a big challenge to that promise.
I don't want to give anything away for those who may be interested in reading this book. I will just say this, the author was all over the place, very ADHD with her characters and narration. She flip flopped from telling to remembering to leaving you hanging and jumping to other characters with very poor transitions. I found myself going huh and then had to go back a few pages to try and make sense of what i was reading. As a result I quickly became bored and fed up and was not willing to invest in the characters. The ending felt like she ran out of ideas and just start flinging things in to make it interesting. It actually felt like when you stay in a relationship way too long and it just plain turns ugly because you're disgusted with each other with no possibility of even salvaging compassion for the other.

I didn't know this was a romance novel when I decided to read it. I thought it was pretty boring and really cheesy.
