I felt compelled to write a review for this novella because of the disparity among the previous reviews. It is an interesting premise that evoked strong emotions in some readers. I didn't take it that way. What struck me was the author's attempt to make a weak, man or should I say boy appear noble because of his refusal to make a choice about his emotionally damaged girlfriend.  That's not love, nor is this a romance. It's a sad story because she's either very damaged & in need of professional help or she's very calculating. Either way he comes across as weak and pliable and I find that very unattractive in a man.  I also thought maybe the mental health aspect would be the premises for the following books in the series but overall I couldn't get invested enough in the story to care. The reason for the 4 stars is I'm a softie who doesn't like to knock author's & I believe she has talent. This doesn't present as a menace but a distinctly dysfunctional train wreck  & the main female character is  demoted to an afterthought if you really look at it. So what he wants to tell the world she's with him too. That will only make him look like the man & we all know the world loves a scandal. His career won't suffer. The only one suffering is the girl he claims to love more than anything in the world.  They're all young so he still has a chance to grow some balls, hopefully, and most of all the damaged young lady needs counseling or maybe she really is asexual. There are people actually like that. The reason for this long review it's snowing  & I'm bored.  I take my time choosing new books to download because of the sheer amount of crap masquerading as literature.  Good luck with the storyline, keep trying regardless of some of the really nasty reviews. The next one may turn the male character into a man who'll be eligible to be a book boyfriend. Right now he's pathetic. Hope springs
