Reviews

[6thbreed · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't know if this book gets any better, but within the first 20 to 30 pages a girl meets up with her lover and it's alluded that they had an affair a couple nights ago. Now he's leaving without marrying her. I'm not sure if the girl will realize the error of her ways farther on in the book, but I'm not going to skip ahead to find out. If I could rate this zero stars I would.
