Review: Not what I thought it was

I ACTUALLY WANT TO GIVE THIS BOOK A 2.5 STAR RATING.I bought this book after reading the reviews and it stated that the female lead was strong. Throughout the book both the main men spoke about how strong she was. I'm sorry, but someone wallowing in self-hate ALL THE TIME is not strong. It is NOT a redeeming quality. It made me want to reach through my kindle a shake her. Seriously, the ENTIRE book all she does is say is unlovable, it’s her fault for this, her fault for that. Holy crap girl, haven't you ever heard the saying "no one will love you until you love yourself"? I almost didn't finish the book because of this.The other characters were alright. Greer kinda made me want to bash my head in with the way he was. I mean he practically worships the ground Denver walks on, then you find out his betrayal and you're like what? He did that? I mean it makes sense to a point, but at the same time I'm just wondering if he is right in his head as well or if he suffers from self-hate like our little Denver. Ransom is the only main character I could stand and we hardly got to know him at all.There were so many things left out in this book and it leaves you with so many unanswered questions. I will most likely not be buying the second book.HOWEVER, I want it to be known that I thought the writing was great. It was descriptive, not many errors, and had a great flow throughout the book. It is a great book if you enjoy those kinds of characters, I do not. But I want the author to know that she has really great potential, and if she writes a story with an actual strong female lead then I will definitely be all over that.
