this book made me want to gauge my eyes out, cut mu brain into a million pieces, and made me wish i never learned to read so i wouldn't have bad to read this book.
aside from the fact that this book is full of romanticized rape, manipulation, abuse, stalking and much much more, it's also just terribly written
none of the characters really had any personality (or one that was developed), the "plot" wasn't really a plot it was just a sad attempt at making a story that could've been something but was wasted by the rape scenes every other chapter
normally i'd feel bad saying that a book had absolutely no redeeming qualities but this book was so awful that all i can say is that i hope no one else has to ever read this book
