Really not that great but also was really enticing. I wanted to know how things turned out, but the plot twist was really upsetting.

Honestly kinda a messed up book. It gives a false reality to women about how to be treated by men. Basically if a man treats you like Ben treated Fallon on the first date, RUN

I was done with this book at about page 25. It never got better and I was thoroughly frustrated by the end. Thank goodness I borrowed this from the library and didn't spend any of my own money on it. 

I wanted to give this book the benefit of the doubt and read it for myself, but I had a feeling going into it that I wasn't going to like this after reading other reviews, and after reading the book for myself, boy was I correct. 

I had many issues with this book, most of which have been outlined in a detailed review by Whitney Atkinson. A lot of it is Ben's behavior, which is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form.
