I didn’t hate this book. I didn’t hate the characters and I did end up finishing it. I just don’t think that love needs to be ugly quite like this. I don’t believe that you can love someone back to life, and I don’t believe that men should be given any free passes for their behavior because they are damaged emotionally. I also know how unhealthy it can be for women who are in romantic relationships with damaged men to think that if they just love him enough that he will change. I didn’t hate this book, and I don’t judge those that love it, but I didn’t find this plot line to be romantic, and I wish she had dumped him and never returned.
