This book is a very realistic portrayal of domestic violence and the reasons so many people stay with their abuser.

1.0

This is not a love story! 

I kept waiting to find out why so many people love this book and after reading it I still don't know.
Everything in the protagonist's life revolves around men. The supporting characters only serve to get her together and stay together with the male lead who is manipulative among other things. She is the stereotypical white girl who suprisingly realizes that not everyone is as fortunate as she is.
The plot was very predictable and the way the topic of

domestic violence

was handled seemed forced and irresponsible. In the post-interview the author reveals that she wanted to write a book based on her mom's experience with this topic which explains why it came a cross as forced to me

This book was complicated for me. It did a great job of getting you to love the characters and in the very smallest way, understand what someone might go through

when they face physical abuse

.

I was uncomfortable with the book but also couldn't put it down.

I can't believe I read another CoHo book after swearing off her years ago... I got curious, okay? And it was *gasp* pretty good? Better than her other books at any rate.
