look CoHo gets a lot of hate but from my perspective i see this as a way to show that you can get through abuse. it shows how love will make you do anything but that there’s people out there who are there. it can be comforting but also heart wrenching.

Reading a romance really hasn't been my thing for a while but this isn't your typical romance. The book was written well but I don't think I actually liked it. Parts were very detailed when describing the sex. I think the main "plot" of this book was the relationship, where usually in romances it is a sub plot. The ending was very well done, albeit a bit abrupt. I really hated the diary entries.

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