review 1: Sometimes you read a book that brings to light the harsh realities that some have to face in life. Sometimes you read a book that makes you feel so many real, raw emotions; feelings and thoughts you can't completely express because you're so torn about them.This book, as short as it was, did exactly that to me. You get introduced to Carter and Tawny when they're in high school and every new chapter skips 2 years into the future. The book is from Carter's pov so you get mostly his back story. He's a broken boy who was dealt a pretty shity hand in life, who meets Tawny, an equally broken girl.They form a bond out of that brokenness that seems so fragile from the very beginning, but you can't help to want for it to work out. Until that broken boy grows to be a completely diff... moreerent man.I didn't know that this was a prequel to a novel, but I would have read it anyway. The charter's are completely flawed and damaged. It would seem irrevocably so. Yet there's just something about them that I can't help but love and feel for.Although I WANT to hate Carter, he's earned that hate, there's just something about his character that I can't completely loathe.And I'm not excusing his behavior in ANY WAY. It's unforgivable, but I like the way the author gives you his pov so that you could maybe try and understand why he is the way he is. And Tawny, oh Tawny. I cannot wait to get to know her better in the next book. Although the subject matter is a bit hard to stomach, I liked the author's writing style. I was so captivated by the story, I didn't realize I was at the end. The ending of this book will definitely leave you wanting more.
review 2: Wow! Talk about insight on how a relationship can change over time. I am not sure I will spoil this book for you so stop reading if you don't like spoilers!!!I think all women should read this book! It give such insight how things progress. You may wonder why women stay with men who it hit them? Well, it doesn't happen at first! It something that progresses over time. He loves her, truly. She loves him, truly! They know they don't want to become their parents but.....He hurts her and she stays. Why? It happens years after they are married. She trusted him. He gave her everything she had no reason to think he would betray her that way. Now she has no family, no friends, no job, no money, no children...nothing. Where is she suppose to go? How is she suppose to support herself? So, she takes it and takes it until...she can't take it anymore!!! I can't wait til the next book! less
