It was difficult to find any redeemable aspects of this book as it glorifies rape, pedophilia, and stalking behaviors. None of the main characters are likeable and I can't say that I'm glad that they ended up together. I kept reading, hoping that there would be some character development or recognition of the stalking-like behavior of the main character, but nope. We're apparently supposed to celebrate that and be happy for them.
