I finished the book because I had hoped the main characters might mature or somehow become better people, but I was greatly disappointed. The male mc was one of the worst love interests I've ever had the misfortune of reading about, but the female mc is so enamoured with him that she lets all of his bullying and neglect slide. He causes her a great deal of emotional trauma in the name of his own trauma. This is the first book I've read by this author and I hope this is not a reoccurring theme in her other, more popular works.
