I LOVED!!!! This book. Molly is so screwed up, her and Ian's juxtaposition was perfect. There are times I wanted to cry because of what she had gone through. I didn't see the twist coming about how she and Ian were connected that was a SURPRISE! It was such a beautiful story, with all their family members dead they had no one else and found each other.Molly to me felt real, I actually know people like her. Those are the people I connect well with because they are in no way perfect, and they have accepted themselves that way.She is a strong female, a fighter. The book had some dark elements but I loved that about it. At Molly's age I remember going through shit like that, not knowing how anything will work out. So I sympathized with her. I love the rawness in this story, the sex scenes were explicit (that's the only spoiler I'm putting on here).Theresa Weir is an award winning author, a title she deserves, now I'm going on the hunt for more books from her. Brilliantly written.If you are looking for a book that is a love story, tragic, with strong female characters (Molly and Rose), this is it. It is not a fluffy typical romance novel where the girl is rescued by the guy. Our heroin is a kick ass, take charge kind of girl.One of my favorite lines come from Molly "I would work this stepbrother thing as long as possible because Ian bugged the hell out of me and I needed to torment him."I would remember this book for a long time. I am glad that I bought this book so I can read it an re-read it.
