"If being unhappy or angry would change anything, then I'm all for it, but I've learned that bending with the wind helps me survive without breaking."
When I say I cried my eyes out, I really cried! All the ugly tears and blubbering. I don't know how many times I felt the way Esme felt. Useless, ugly, worthless. While I was nowhere near the same situation she was in, the pain wasn't any different. I can't believe how horrible everyone was to esme. I know Declan was angry with Viv and heartbroken, but I was so livid! How could he be so stupid and watch her and not see the truth? Man, my heart broke for Esme.
"She wasn’t a flake, I realized, no, she was a shadow who had put up walls around her to survive because the people who were supposed to love her didn’t."
Finally, he realized the truth! I wanted to reach through the book and slap Declan silly! And then when Esme and him were finally happy, her dad stepped in and ruined it. People like him make me so freaking angry! He deserves everything that came to him and more!!! Still mad that it wasn't worse. I'm just glad that Esme stood on her own two feet and fought for herself and what she wanted!! So damn proud of her!!!!

This was definitely a rage inducer. I don’t think that the author understood that what the h was doing, was literally being a doormat. Yes, she did things to try to circumvent situations, but she still ended up doing situations.
When you have H coming in and making everything a little bit worse, and realising the truth. His mentality in the first of the book was just making you want to hit upside his head with how he was treating another human being.
I will also say that even though we understood the family dynamic, I still don’t like any of her family, no matter how we also try to redeem them in the end.
