Maybe I'm on a book drought or something, but I have no clue how ppl can rate this so high.  I actually had to put it down and pick it back up several times, and still just got to 68%.  Unfortunately, I'm not able to finish.  The main character, Liv, is really not likable after you find out exactly what she did, and the reasons for it.  In my opinion, it is unforgivable.  Then, when Nate finds out, he's made briefly, then it's all fine.  It really shows how shallow and careless these characters were.  I had an inkling of what she did, but thought surely not bc her character initially didn't come off that selfish and cruel.  Then to allow her children to be subjected to what she allowed, still selfish.  I know I'm going to get crap for that statement, but it makes no sense to me.  Kind of a SPOILER: why would she keep a daddy box for so long but not contact the daddy?  Especially when the son was in such danger and pain?  There was a way out for that child, but Liv didn't allow it.  Makes zero sense to have that for the child, but tell the child to not call his daddy to help him.  Like dangling a carrot in front of a horse.  "Your daddy is great, but I want you to get abused by this other man instead."The writing style is a bit different, but it wasn't anything horrible that would cause me to not read the book.  I think I could have enjoyed this book if the circumstances were different.  Again, could be that I'm in a reading slump.
