Disclaimer: I did not choose to read this book on my own, it was recommended to me.
Davidson writes his story well, it's just not one I wanted to read. I don't understand how this is considered a love story. A depressing unrealized one maybe. The main story is depressing, the side stories are depressing. I generally read about 100 pages a day. It took me 2 MONTHS to finish this book. I could read about 25 pages and then I had to switch to something more upbeat.
