1.0
When I first read this book I loved it. I was convinced I could only fall in love with a "bad-boy" exactly like the mMC.
Yeah well, I remembered how much how I well in love with romance books partly because of this book, but decided to read it again before recommending it to some girlies who were as old as I was when I first read it...aaand I am not doing that, recommending the book I mean.
The portrayed relationship is so unhealthy really bordering on if not entirely abusive. And the only one I would ship with the misunderstood bad-boy is a therapist because I may have started out being annoyed by Blaire but honestly blaming her for anything when his behaviour could get him some time in jail just does not seem reasonable.
The only reason this book is not getting the deserved 0.5 stars is 10 year old me having fond memories of talking about this book with her friends not because of the actual book content...
