![]() ![]() I loved her, what seemed only, female friend and I was glad we got to see her story and her POV. And the inner dialog, where one second she wants him and in the next she's all about finding excuses and making herself believe she hates and even loathes him. The whole reason I didn't like this book was because of her childish behaviour. But there has to be a line between push-pull play where it's still cute and interesting and between a time where it's just annoying as hell. I mean, I get you'd be ticked off when someone took you agains your will and threw you into a whole new, to you alien, word. I couldn't stand Shaye and her reason was a too weak one to excuse her behaviour towards a man who truly cared for her. To be honest I skimmed the whole book and even dropped it almost at the end. I wanted to jump into what seemed at the time awesome story. I was so excited about this book when I read the blurb and few reviews. ![]()
