I actually like stories about forbidden love, and stealing another girls boyfriend I don't have a problem with ( as long as it is not in real life), however I did not like this book.  While the author is trying to show us that the girl is just so in love  that she can't help herself, all that comes across is that this is a girl whose self esteem is so low that she can't demand to be treated better.  I think the problem for me is that she is sleeping with him, while at the same time he is walking around, tenderly touching his girl friends face, and telling her that he loves her while he walks by or is near his forbidden love.  No person in love for real would act that way, only a boy who is trying to have sex with as many girls as possible.  Henry just comes across as a player.  I think treating the behavior of both the key characters in the book like it is normal or at all ok  is a really bad message to send to teenage girls.
