Fascinating. I have been Bee. I wonder to what extent how many women and also how many men have been that person. The one who loved intently, made the excuses, covered the bruises, planned the future, avoided those who were close and cared...
As an older experienced person, I could see where we were going almost immediately with this book (apart from the ending which could have been more...., well, just more...) it was an accurate retelling of *that* relationship.. the one we have all had - the that was an all consuming passion, the one that came before life long friends, the one that was almost too much. We have all had it to one extent or another... the one that changed us in ways we didn’t know was possible, the one that took us from our perceived path.
The writing was okay. The characters were okay. The set ups were okay. The story was with reading and the take away was that there need to be more books like this to show those who are in Bee’s situation that they are not alone.
