I purchased this book and wasn't given an ARC so this will be a completely honest reviewI saw this book being recommended on another blog and it was so highly recommended, story sounded right up my alley and I was looking for a new author to read so I picked this....and it was just so hard to finish.  There were several things that went well with the book, the story was good, the writing was intelligent, the editing was good.  However... the two main characters were so back and forth, so mean, so indecisive, so blame game that it was hard to care.  I gave it a three star for the sheer fact that the book is longer than other standard fare to be read (over 400 pages) and the author did have a good story to tell.  It was just so hard to like or root for either character I found myself NOT caring if they ended up together in the end.  I get what the author was trying to accomplish, the fear of trust, opening yourself to someone else, guilt of the living, substance abuse, mental illness and depression.  I found myself so frustrated with the main female character because she was just so weak...weak in heart, weak in her convictions, weak in her self, weak in her friends that I just couldn't take much more.I know most of you won't find the review helpful because you will  disagree with me about this book and it not being an epic love story and that's OK...that is how books are supposed to be.  Debated and analyzed and thought about.  It just wasn't the story I was hoping for.
