It's been a while since I've read a book in which I find myself so intensely disliking the main character.  What an absolute jerk Christine is.  Yes, I understand that her ex-husband damaged her emotionally, but honest to goodness, the way she treated Derek was appalling.  Sleep with me.  Don't talk to me.  Sleep with me.  Get out of my life.  Kiss me.  Go away.  But don't go with anyone else, either.I wanted to reach into the book and choke her.  I was almost bummed out every time Derek gave her another chance.  What kind of love story is that?  All she did was play head games and feel sorry for herself.There was a secondary storyline that dealt with Christine's mother.  That wasn't very interesting, and she seemed to jump around quite a bit from ok to heartbroken to ok again pretty quickly.  But at least I didn't want to punch her...mostly because she wasn't interesting enough to cause me to make a fist.The only interesting person was the therapist, even though her character was not deeply developed, since she provided some comic relief.Could've been a good story, but it wasn't.  Nobody wants to read a book in which they want the couple to stay apart.
