Carry the One by Carol Anshaw

I started this one, and immediately put it back down, after only a few pages. I have never done that before. I was so uneasy reading those pages and now I can say why. I need time to get to know characters, build a relationship with them, care about them, or love to hate them. Within the first few pages, these characters were thrown at me, telling me way more than I wanted to know about them and more than I was comfortable with (really really intimate details on page 3) and it was so off-putting that I immediately didn't like them and just didn't care what happened. I know I didn't give it much of a chance, but still. The premise of the book intrigued me, but I can't do this one. I'm not giving it stars only because I didn't actually read it beyond the first few pages, and a rating here would be unfair.
