I don't know if I would call their relationship dysfunctional or just really immature.  When he calls her a Banshee, he is not kidding.  She is always screeching at him and hitting him, stomping on his feet and throwing things at him. He is always grouchy and scowling at her.  The two of them take every opportunity to make the other jealous and they are ALWAYS arguing.  Of course, both are gorgeous and have the opposite sex ready to do all their bidding, so using others to get back at each other is no problem ever.Both Park and Violet know they are good looking and are arrogant about it: "Everyone was looking at them, a fact Violet loved since she knew it was because they looked exceptionally well together, with his fair coloring and her dark looks.  The fact that both of them also loved to dress well, more so than most people their age, made them even more gawk-worthy, and Violet loved every minute of it".While I found the beginning of their relationship intriguing, the more I read and the more petty it got, I just got sick and tired of the back and forth bickering and games.  Park is determined not to love again and Violet uses all sorts of games to try to get him to see that he does love her, at least she thinks he does.  Honestly, I am not really sure these two should even be together.  Their relationship is immature and harmful and seems wrong.  They start out as f****buddies and progress into a possessiveness that Violet interprets as love and Park interprets as caring for.  The games they play really get tedious.When Park refuses to be in love with Violet, they start dating other people and that is when it gets really ridiculous.  Park is challenged to keep her in love with him while not falling in love with her.  Violet just wants to know if there is someone for her that will love her since Park doesn't.  But she won't give up her sexual relationship with him.  Like I said, dysfunctional. Oh, and the epilogue is totally out of left field.  There is ONE scene that gives any indication that Park is not who he appears to be and that's it until the epilogue?  Really? Is there a sequel?Profanity: f-word (A LOT), sh**t, GD, JC. Very descriptive sex scene, somewhat public oral sex, lots of hitting by Violet and punching walls by Park
