Review: Not you average love story - it's raw, emotional and gritty.

First let me say if you have not read A Woman Gone Mad, put this book down and resume it after starting with Lil's story from her point of view.  Then come back and read it from Leo's point so you can really relate to his pain and emotions.Leo loves Lil from the first moment he sets his eyes on her.  The only problem is Lil is young and life gets in their way.  Leo loves Lil so much he is willing to stay out of her life as long as she is happy.  He meets Annalise and thinks if he can't have Lil then Lise will be enough for him.  Lise knows that Lil will always be Leo's first love but hopes in time her love will be enough for both of them.At one point Leo and Lil's love for each other nearly kills both of them at different times. Their life is like a series of wrong turns until the very end.  Each turn is more emotional than the last.  My heart ached for them both.  I don't like spoilers so I will not say anymore.  I do strongly suggest that if you have read AWGM you read Holding Her in Madness because the epilogue gives the story the closure I so needed to hear.
